The Kid From RecessLoading...
By: Tanner NorrisLoading...
When I was in the fifth grade me and my buddies would always play football at recess. There was this one kid that we didn't like because he was weird and we always made fun of him because he was bad at football. His name was Landon. The next year of school came around which meant it was finally time to put on some pads and play real tackle football. Me and my buddies found out that Landon was playing football that year too and laughed hysterically. Six and seventh grade goes by and Landon never got into the game once. Until eighth-grade year something sparked inside Landon and he worked harder than anyone on the team and grew into a monster of a player. At practice he would put all the kids who bullied him in the dirt. He makes it onto the varsity team and starts all four years of highschool at running back. He shows out his junior and senior year and offers started rolling in. He had offers from the University of Tennessee, Ole Miss, Duke, Ohio State and so many more. On signing day everyone expected him to sign with Tennessee because they were his home team. But instead he shocked everyone and signed with Ohio State. They went on to win 2 national championships and the kid from recess made it professionally.
