QUOTES FROM OUR PLAYERS

CLASS OF 2026

Underneath all of this is one theme. Northport football taught me that commitment to teammates is both inherited and chosen. I inherited a standard from the older players who welcomed me as a freshman and from a coach who has been there from my earliest years. I also had to choose to live up to that standard and to pass it on. That has meant putting the team before my own comfort, speaking up when it would have been easier to stay quiet, and staying connected to younger players who are just starting their own journey in the program. From PAL practices to playoff sidelines, from a nervous freshman to a senior captain, this experience has moved quickly, but it has never been random. Each stage has built on the last, and together they have prepared me for challenges well beyond high school.

CLASS OF 2026

Northport Football has given to me more than I could ever repay. Friendships that will
last a lifetime, unforgettable lessons, and understanding of what it means to be part of
something bigger than yourself are all things that have been gifted to me by this program. I have
become the man I am today because of these things and will always be forever grateful to
Northport Football.

CLASS OF 2026

To me, Northport football means being able to battle through adversity and to stay humble through prosperity to reach a goal that I share with those who have been by my side throughout the process. Northport football has shaped me to become the man I am today by showing me that teamwork and brotherhood can rival anything. It has shown me that, in life, challenges are not meant to bring you down, but help you become stronger and reach for the next milestone. Northport football has brought me together with so many different people who I otherwise may not have had any connection with, and has turned strangers into family. Through sweating in the blistering heat in August to trying to stay warm in the crisp cold of November, I’ve been given the blessing to play, work, and learn alongside some of my closest friends.
