What got you started playing football?

Through hard times, I’ve found football is a good way to release anger and frustration.

What has football taught you about life?

Football has made me grow up – even faster than I wanted to. Sometimes you’ll be down, but you have to get up. When you’re tired you have to keep going. Also, if you want something in football, you have to work for it and that carries over to life.

How would you describe yourself as a player in a few words?

Leader and versatile.

I feel like I can play in the box similar to a guy like Grant Delpit.

A woman named Jessica Walker. She took me in and sat me down and told me I need to figure it out. She guided me because she didn’t want my talent to go to waste. She taught me how to be a man.

What are you bringing to Louisiana Tech that makes you special?

Grit. Nobody can stop me from my goals. One day I am going to be the best and I believe that in my heart.

By: Blake Vick

Where do you see football taking you in the future?

I think football can take ma a long way. I can see myself playing professionally.

What is the strong point of your game?

I fly around the field.

What can you bring to a college program that makes you special?

I carry myself appropriately off the field and I like to lead people.

How would you describe yourself as a football player in one word?

Hype.

How long have you been playing football and what got you started?

I’ve been playing football my entire life. When I first got to high school, I switched from cornerback to wide receiver, but all my family members told me I was a natural DB. By my senior year I was starting on both sides of the ball.

What has football taught you about life?

Football has taught me how to overcome adversity. As a shorter player, I was always told what I couldn’t do. People look over me because of my height, but I feel like I have more to prove.

That goes for anything in life. When someone tells me that I can’t, then I just have to work ten times harder at being better than them at doing whatever it is.

What is the strong point of your game?

I come downhill. Also, my IQ of the game is great. I have an understanding of how the game works on both sides of the ball, so I can sniff out plays. When I find out where the ball is going, watch out because I’m coming and somebody might get hurt.

Is there a player at the college or pro level that you model your game after?

Tyrann Mathieu, for sure.

By: Blake Vick

What makes you special that you will bring to a college program?

My versatility and aggressiveness. I can play offense, defense and special teams. I am useful in every phase of the game. Every time the ball is around me, I’m coming to make plays, whether it is practice or in a game.

I made a play and caused a fumble in a game we were losing as a sophomore, and a teammate scooped and scored and we won the game.

It’s taught me to be in control and always know what’s going on. I try to always be a leader and have people follow my actions.

How would you describe yourself as a football player in a few words?

Vocal, outgoing, rough and spirited.

Where do you see football taking you in the future?

Honestly, football will take me wherever I want it to take me. If I keep playing, I have the ability to do a lot of things for a team. After my playing days are over, I can see myself coaching. Mostly, football has taught me to always be ready for what’s next.

By: Blake Vick

James

Monroe is a 6’3” 270 lbs. defensive end for Opelousas Catholic high School in Opelousas, Louisiana.

James bench presses 320 lbs., squats 450 lbs. and runs a 4.7 second 40-yard dash.

How long have you been playing football and what got you started playing?

I’ve been playing for about 12 years now. I started playing for the city league in flag football and I was having fun so I never looked back.

Who has been the biggest influence on you as a football player?

My mom and dad. They push me to be the best I can be at everything I do. My dad got me started playing when I was young, so he always pushed me to go harder and now I play for them.

What is the strong point of your game?

My leadership and play making ability. I can fight through pressure with the best of them.

Is there a college or professional player that you model your game after?

Cameron Jordan. We are both quick off the line and try to beat you with our hands first so linemen can’t get to our chest and we can get to the quarterback and make a play.

What will you bring to a college program that makes you special?

My leadership. I can be a vocal leader and a physical leader. I do the heavy lifting and attract attention so even if I’m not the guy making the play, my linebacker or defensive tackle will be free to make the play.

What’s the most fun you’ve had playing football?

It’s always been fun for me, but my senior year this year was my best year. I was the guy to make plays and the coaches knew they could count on me to make plays. Big downs they knew I wouldn’t jump offside or make a mistake. I’m a dependable player.

13

How long have you been playing football and what got you started playing?

I’ve been playing since I was seven years old.

I was supposed to be on the “B Team” when I started playing, but I was too big so I had to move up.

What has football taught you about life?

It’s taught me to not be selfish. I have to trust my teammates, because I can’t win by myself.

If the ball is on the other side of the field, I know that guy is going to make a tackle and he knows I’ll make the play when the ball comes to me. Football has also taught me to be a better person.

In a few words, how would you describe yourself as a football player?

All-in. Whatever I do I’m going to go all-in for the team whenever they need me.

Where do you see football taking you in life?

If I keep working hard, I believe I have a shot at playing in the NFL. My favorite player is Aaron Donald, and he is only an inch taller than me. I feel like we are similar players and our talents are similar, so if I keep working I think I can do big things.

What is a strong point of your game that makes you a great football player?

I have played offensive line, so as a defensive lineman I understand where offensive players are trying to get hand placement and how their footwork gives away keys, such as when guards pull, and I can find their weaknesses.

By: Blake Vick

14

What makes you special as a member of the team?

I am a leader and I pick up plays quickly. I give my heart to the team and respect all my teammates and coaches and I always do the best that I can to give my team the best shot to win.

What has football taught you about life?

It has taught me to fight, whether you are winning or losing. You can never not take advantage of an opportunity. You have to battle through adversity and keep going. Mostly, football has taught me how to be a good person.

Where do you see football taking you in the future?

I want to play in college. I see football eventually taking me to a national championship and making my parents proud. Like I said I grew up watching football with my dad, so making him and my mom proud has always been my dream.

Colby Wiersema is a 6’2” 184 lbs. strong safety from

What is the strong point of your game?

I just play harder. If you come out to a game and watch #25 for Sam Houston, you’ll realize that kid is around the ball on every play.

Whether I’m making a tackle or making an assist, I’ll be hustling to the ball and never taking plays off.

How long have you been playing football and what got you started playing?

I’ve been playing football since I was five years old. I grew up watching LSU on my family’s TV in our garage on Saturdays with my dad, and dreamed of reaching that level one day. I’ve always enjoyed the game.

What will you bring to a college program that makes you special?

I’m a leader and I’m a competitor. When I show up as a freshman, I’m going to go out there and push the seniors harder than they’ve been pushed and try to get their spot and make them better along the way.

How would you describe yourself as a football player in one word?

Dedicated.

By: Blake Vick

Is there a college or pro player you model your game after?

Joe Burrow. He’s a QB and I’m a strong safety, so our positions don’t match up, but I love how tough Joe is. He takes a shot on the chin and he’s ready to go the next play. The UCF game stood out to me. He takes the blindside shot and gets up ready to go back out onto the field.

Describe a time when you made a play in a game that you realized football was your sport?

We were 3-0 heading into district play. I made a play in the flat on a district rival’s running back and flipped him, and got the team fired up. That’s when I realized this sport was for me.

What about Ray’s game is similar to the way you play?

Ray and I are both team leaders. We are both mean and we hit hard when we fill a hole.

Where do you see football taking you in the future?

Football is everything to me. When I go to college I want to major in Kinesiology and hopefully come back to Opelousas and be a football coach.

What is the strong point of your game?

My technique. For my high school, I play defensive end, but I am a linebacker’s size, so I have to use my technique to beat bigger offensive linemen. I have to be quicker and smarter than the guy across from me.

What will you bring to a college program that will make you special?

I’m a good kid. I’m a leader. I do all the right things when nobody is looking and I will work hard in everything I do.

Tough.

It’s honestly too my people to list. My family all played football, and coaches have helped me but I’ve had tons of great role models and influences.

When times get tough, you have to stick with it and work through it. Football has taught me to be disciplined and that definitely carries over to life.

Getting to Know Southern University Freshman

Wide Receiver

Kendall Catalon By: Makenzie Dixon

22

Finishing his freshman year with 343 yards for

24 receptions and 3 touchdowns, Kendall Catalon has established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the Southwest Athletic Conference. When he prepared for the 2018 SWAC Championship, this sophomore all-star wide receiver from Mansfield, Texas said that he was “treating the game with the same high energy and focus as any other game”. Playing sports has always been a major part of Catalon’s life. As a child he began playing sports at an early age, including baseball, basketball, and football. His first love of sports was from the influence of his father toward baseball, but as time passed and his interests shifted, it was the high intensity, quick paced game of football that captured his heart.

In the first win of this season in Southern’s A.W. Mumford Stadium, Catalon helped the Southern University Jaguars achieve a win over the Langston University Lions with his three touchdown receptions. The first of these touchdowns was on a pass completed for 41 yards from Bubba McDaniel. Whether it was a back and forth nail-biter like the Jaguars’ game against the Alabama A&M Bulldogs, or an offensive blowout like the matchup versus Jackson State, Kendall Catalon‘s technique and dexterity has contributed to the team like no other player’s, making him a rare talent that will standout for seasons to come.

The former high school quarterback said that Southern University has been a natural adjustment for him both as a student and as an athlete. As a senior in high school, Catalon’s strength, speed, and football intelligence increased his ability as a quarterback and wide receiver. He has thrown for over 1700 yards and rushed for close to 1025 yards. Head Coach Dawson Odums noticed the athlete’s natural ability early and concluded “he’s a guy that is looking for the end zone. Every time he touches the football, he’s trying to score and I really think that excitement feeds into the rest of our team.”

Catalon credits his talent to the blessings from the man above, explaining that he puts God first in everything he does and that “he would not be the man he is today without the Lord’s guidance and blessings.” Every Saturday night, his goal is to use what he has learned on and off the field to repay his family and friends for their support and unconditional love.

Coming from the foundation of a caring and compassionate family in Texas, his teammates have become 24

additional members of his support system, yet despite the brotherly camaraderie in the locker room, they recognize that there is a serious and workaholic side of the fun-loving and energetic Kendall Catalon. Catalon is the eldest of three siblings and aims to be the best son he can be for his parents and biggest role model and protector to his younger sister and brother. When selected as a team captain for the 2018-2019 season, it was his strong leadership skills that secured him the position, despite only having completed one full season with the team. He said that, “I always played that role for every team I was on: football, baseball, basketball, as far as being an older brother in the family- I had to play that role. I had to show my siblings, friends and teammates what to do and what not to do.” Catalon has grown up with the mentality that age does not determine leadership ability, striving to lead by example on the field, in the classroom, and as a man.

P3 Quarterback Academy (985) 232-9759

25

As a business management major at Southern University, the sophomore student-athlete hopes to continue to improve his skills and potentially play football at a higher level after college, but feels that his approachableness and communication skills would make him an excellent sports broadcaster. Here in Baton Rouge, Catalon has attended school visits in the community in order to talk with students, assist with tasks, and volunteer his time in order to give back to the community.

After ending the three-year loosing streak against archrival Grambling State, the Southern University Jaguars have clenched the SWAC West Division Championship and competed on December 1st in Lorman, Mississippi against the Alcorn State University Braves for the SWAC Championship title. Despite thoughts that enough improvements had been made during the season for Southern, the Jaguars were unable to defeat Alcorn to end their season.

When he is not studying plays or conditioning his body, the impressive student-athlete shared that he loves to dance; as I had the privilege of seeing during the trophy presentation after the 45th Annual Bayou Classic. Going forward, I expect to continue to see Catalon leading both on the field and in the community, as he has already established a name for himself early on in his career. The enthusiastic student-athlete that is Kendall Catalon has impeccable ball handling skills, remarkable speed, and an all around wonderful attitude toward his craft and the game of football. He is sure to leave a forceful impact on Southern University for many years to come.

What are somethings that football has taught you?

The main thing I would say is that football has taught me about perseverance. Perseverance is important to me because you don’t always win and you don’t always have the best game. Perseverance as a quarterback is important because you cant control the result of the game and helping your teammates by putting them before yourself.

How would you describe your style of play?

I am a very calm football player, I am not jittery or in a rush to get ball out of my hands because I am scanning the field. Although I try to get the ball out my hands as fast as possible I always try to make sure I have made all the proper reads.

By: Tyran Bates

Who are some of your biggest influences?

I would say my father because we talk a lot and he would tell me about the missed opportunities he had in life like not going to college and possibly the MLB because he used to be able to throw a 95-mile an hour fastball when he was 16. He always preached to me about not giving up and keep on pushing forward.

Which quarterback do you compare yourself to?

Aaron Rodgers is someone that I compare my style of play to. The reason why is because his arm talent is so superior and he can use his legs to make great plays.

Some of my friends would also compare my style of play to his.

What made you decide to be a quarterback?

From a very young age I was always very advanced in my mindset. I was very quickly able to understand concepts, reading plays, and finding a way to put the football where it needs to be for the receivers. God has really made a way for me by giving me these gifts.

Because of my height I have to work just as hard as anyone else on the football field. My height makes me harder to tackle because the defenders have to get lower than me, which is hard for them to do, and I can squeeze through the holes breaking big runs as well.

Tyler

Abshire is a 6’4, 180 pound quarterback from Cecilia High School. This class of 2020 quarterback knows what he brings to the table concerning his abilities; but, he also knows the areas which need improvement.

To start things off, I asked him to describe himself in a few words. Tyler replied, “I’m a confident guy, I walk with a chip on my shoulder. You have to have a sense of confidence to play this position because going into a game scared affects your performance”. The old adage, “there’s a difference between confident and cocky”, is definitely in play. Tyler is absolutely correct; you have to be confident to be a quarterback. When a player is more confident, he is willing to take more well-advised risks to move the ball down the field which will put points up on the board.

I asked the Cecilia quarterback what were his goals for this year. “I want to get an offer. That’s what I’m working for”. Of course, Tyler would like to take a trip the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. His goal is the same as every other high school senior football player in Louisiana. In the end, it’s up to Tyler to showcase his abilities to college coaches and to prove to them why he stands out among other quarterbacks in the state.

To be an effective quarterback, a player has to be able to inspire his guys to rally behind him and give him support. In order to do that, a player has to develop strong leadership qualities. I asked Tyler how he defines himself as a leader and he replied, “I lead by example. I am vocal at times but I feel like I’m best at leading by example; showing the guys the hard work I’m willing to do to not only to make myself better but to put our team in the best position to win”. Tyler went on to explain how he is willing to do whatever he needs to do to help the team. “I’m not a runner. I would rather just stay in the pocket and throw but sometimes I have to get outside of the pocket and run.”

Tyler talked to me about his strong work ethic. That’s a quality a coach wants in any player but especially at the quarterback position. One of the ways he highlights his work ethic involves the things he works on during the offseason. “I have to work on my accuracy. I can throw the ball pretty hard but that doesn’t mean much if I can’t get it to my receiver”. A quarterback who can acknowledge both his strengths and weaknesses and is willing to work diligently to improve all areas of his game indicates a level of maturity that coaches can appreciate.

To prepare himself for the game, Tyler told me that he watches inspirational YouTube videos. “If I’m with the guys, we usually listen to rap in the locker-room to get our self-hype before the game”. Tyler enjoys listening to the rapper Drake during his pre-game routine.

After my interview with this 2020 quarterback, I believe that he has great potential both physically and mentally to meet the challenges of one of the most important positions on the field of football. Tyler Abshire is a guy who as been flying under the radar but that does not faze him one bit. If anything, it has pushed him to work harder to get noticed. Which, in long the run, not only benefits him but also the school that takes a chance on him.
