2025 From Jamaica to Dublin Scioto Leshawn Alves


 

Words from Leshawn

I didn’t get playtime because I didn’t understand anything about the sport, and I had just come to the USA from Jamaica when my uncle decided to bring me to a football game and explain the rules and the basics, and I told him that it’s a good sport, so when I started going to Scioto, I signed up for football in the middle of the season. That’s why I didn’t get playing time because I didn’t know anything about it. Then I met my head coach, who helped me get an understanding of football, followed by my uncle.

My respect for other teammates, my hard work and dedication, and lifting my teammates up during hard times. What was the highlight of the 2024 season? The highlight of my 2024 season was definitely the 42-yard free kick Coach Daniel Barker had me working on all week before we played that Friday night. For those that don’t know, a free kick happens after receiving a fair catch. Your team can choose to kick a field goal off a kickoff tee from where the fair catch was received. It’s very rarely used in football now. But I did do it. I made a 42-yard free kick, and it made my season! What was the toughest part of the 2024 season? The hardest part of the 2024 season was probably finding out that my best friend ...

Jersey Number: 59 Other sports played: powerlifting Please post a small recap of last season with something like a big game you had, something about a certain game, something from a bus ride to or from the game, or something that sticks out from a practice. A big game last year for me was the game against Eastern Pike; even though the score didn’t show it, I feel like I had a good game on both sides of the ball. Eastern is always a good game. When we last spoke, you had said that 2024 would be the first year playing on the defensive line. So, how did that go? Last year was my first year playing defensive line; it went great.
