In December 2015, 15-year-old Zaevion Dobson, a Fulton High School football player from Knoxville, Tennessee, made a decision most people could never imagine.
He was with friends when gunfire suddenly erupted during a drive-by shooting. In that terrifying moment, Dobson had only seconds to react. He could have run.
He could have tried to save himself. Instead, he threw his body over the girls beside him, shielding them from the bullets.
The girls survived. Zaevion did not.
His final act turned a teenage football player into a national symbol of courage. In 2016, Dobson was posthumously honored with the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYS, becoming one of the youngest recipients ever.
Fulton High School later retired his No. 24 jersey, ensuring that his name would never be remembered only for how he died, but for how he chose to protect others in his final moments.
Zaevion Dobson was only 15 years old, but his courage carried the weight of a lifetime.
