Football can be a platform for good.
After a tumultuous high school career, Brad Rusher found himself heading for college on a football scholarship, thanks, in the better part, to the help of a devoted Coach and school guidance counselor.
Football had always been a part of his life growing up, and was a source of motivation for achieving personal goals. But it wasn’t until Brad came to know Christ as his Savior that he began to see football as more than just a game, but a platform that could be used to positively impact people and the communities they live in.

Stepping onto the campus, Brad felt the familiar weight of his football gear but was struck by the intense atmosphere. Surrounded by skilled teammates from across the US, he realized that raw talent wasn't enough. The speed of the game, complex playbook, and rigorous training revealed the gap between small-town high school football and the demands of a college athletic career.
