The Kickoff Experience

Not every journey starts perfect.

In Episode 3 of Beyond the Game: Earned, Not Given – “Resilience Is Earned Too,” student-athlete Keshawn Williams shares how setbacks in the classroom almost changed his path.

From transferring schools to failing English his sophomore year, Keshawn had to refocus, rebuild, and commit to finishing strong academically while continuing to pursue his football dreams.

With support from his mom and the right guidance, he’s now working to graduate early and stay eligible for the next level.

Because talent may open the door…
eligibility keeps it open.
