Follow through with the play, never know what officiating will do! I know what he's capable of, and he's looking for the right opportunity to compete, grow and prove himself. The journey hasn’t been easy, but he's not done yet. '25 Duquesne '26 GlendaleJUCO CA.

When you’ve watched your son play football since Pee Wee, you realize this has never just been a game. It’s been a huge part of our lives. ❤️🏈
Four games left in his second year of college football, and I can’t help but wonder what the future holds. Football may be slowly winding down in his life… and, in ways, in mine too.
The blood, sweat, tears, injuries, early mornings, sleepless nights, endless emails, putting film together, making calls, traveling, hoping, believing… it has definitely been one heck of a ride.
This is not how we ever thought things would end up.
But through all of it, my son has stayed strong, humble and true to who he is. And no matter where football takes him from here, I know he will carry those qualities into his future.
As a mom, watching your son pace the sidelines, just wanting to hear his number called, is heartbreaking. You know what he is capable of. You’ve watched him work for it. You’ve seen the sacrifices he has made.
He had some of the highest stats in California and beyond. He placed 1st at @Elite11 competing against some of the biggest names in college football today. He went on to play Division I football and now finds himself at the JUCO level, still fighting for an opportunity.
And with three years of eligibility remaining, he would still love the chance to continue playing and show where his heart is. But at the same time, he has to be the young man he has become and start thinking about his future and where life takes him next.
He will always remember the good, the bad, the coaches, trainers, teammates, lessons, wins, losses, injuries, disappointments and every person who played a part in this journey.
I always joked that he would have the @JoshAllenQB or @AaronRodgers12 kind of story — the guy who keeps believing, keeps working and keeps finding his way.
Maybe that story is still being written. Maybe it looks completely different than we imagined.
Either way, I am beyond proud.
I’m just the #QBMom who has been in the stands, behind the scenes, in the car, on the phone, sending the emails, watching the film, wiping away the tears and believing in her son every step of the way.
And I will continue to tell him every single day! I am proud of you. Not because of what you accomplish on a football field, but because of the man you’ve become.
Whatever comes next, I know you’ll figure it out.
Love you Ty❤️🏈

Tonight’s game left me with a lot on my heart, and honestly, I’m tired of watching young men work so hard for a dream while feeling like the people who are supposed to help them succeed have already given up on them.
When did coaching become more about yelling, tearing young men down, and calling them names instead of building them up, teaching them, and helping them get better? Also believes in them.
And yes, I’m a QB mom. A missed opportunity, maybe. But I’m also a mom who has watched her son sacrifice so much for this sport.
You leave a D1 program where you weren’t getting the opportunity to play because you believe the JUCO route will give you the playing time, development, and film you need to get noticed again. You believe that if you keep working, keep your head down, and stay committed, another door will open.
But what happens when you get there and the opportunity still doesn’t come?
When the offense repeatedly relies on handing the ball off for 2–4 yards, where does that leave the quarterback? A quarterback needs opportunities to throw the football, make reads, develop, and show what he can do. You cannot build a quarterback’s film when he barely gets the chance to be a quarterback.
And that’s the part people don’t always understand. It’s not just about winning a game. It’s about a young man’s future. It’s about film, opportunities, exposure, and the limited time these athletes have to prove themselves at the next level.
People are quick to say, “JUCO is the way to go.” But please, do your research. Ask questions. Look beyond the promises. Because the JUCO route is not automatically the fresh start everyone hopes it will be.
Watching my son go through this has been heartbreaking. Football has been such a huge part of his life. The early mornings, the practices, the injuries, the sacrifices, the recruiting emails, the film, the countless hours of work, the highs and the lows. I’ve watched it all. I’ve watched him keep going when things didn’t go his way. I’ve watched him stay humble when he had every reason to be frustrated.
And now, I’m watching a dream that he has worked his entire life for feel like it’s slipping away—not because he stopped loving the game or stopped working, but because sometimes the opportunity to show what you can do never comes.
I refuse to believe his story has to end this way.
Maybe I’m just a mom who wants to see her son get a fair shot. Maybe I’m emotional because I know how much this means to him and how much he has put into it. But I will never apologize for believing in my child or advocating for the opportunities he has worked so hard to earn.
To every young man still fighting for his dream: keep your head up. Your worth is not determined by a coach’s opinion, your playing time, or the opportunities someone else chooses to give you.
And to my son: I see you. I see the work, the sacrifices, the frustration, and the heart you continue to put into this game. I know this isn’t where you thought you would be. Neither did I.
But I’m not ready to call it over. Not yet.
