So proud of @brooksbayer2027! Now time to focus on having an amazing senior season! (Also excited that he’ll be close to mom 🙂).
First and foremost, I want to thank God for blessing me with the opportunity to play football at the next level. I am incredibly grateful for my parents, family, coaches, teammates, and everyone who has supported me throughout this journey. With that being said, I am beyond excited to announce my commitment to Pittsburg State University to continue my academic and athletic career, and I can’t wait to get to work, Go Gorillas! 🦍 ❤️💛 #KOJ @CoachTEverett @_CoachNutt @CoachTomAnthony @PSUCoachSmith @scootchiedean @BouchardFred @_CoachVaughn_ @CoachShannon63 @luke_jennings9

My son said my job seems fun. I just watch games, bring sandwiches to the officials, have staff meetings, & listen to people complain. I guess something can be incorrect and correct at the same time.

I finally let my old headshot go. It was a really good one also. But it’s the right thing to do. Here’s to 2026-27.

From Joe Louis Arena to open skate at BluHawk. I probably got more action out of open skate since I spent my first 3 shifts at Joe Louis in the penalty box.
