Wow, I’m blessed beyond belief to have witnessed @DeionSanders giving me a shoutout telling me he’s proud of me and all the work I do especially with the adversity I deal with from my physical disability. Thank you Coach Prime it means the world. 🙏🏼

Growing up with a disability I knew I could never play professional football but my passion for the game never left instead it turned into a passion of speaking and analyzing the game.

I’ve had more struggles than I could’ve imagined in my short life but I’ve always been determined to make my dream a reality and it’s coming true in front of me and Coach Prime helped me realize that even more.

Now, I’m nowhere near close to my end goal but I want this to be a lesson towards anyone even if you have a struggle in your life or not, anything you want to do is possible with hard work and determination. You have the power to do whatever you want in this life.

Thank you to everyone who supports my work and coverage. Thank you for supporting me turning my dream into a reality- Your favorite sports journalist in a ♿️

Alonza Barnett wants to earn respect through his actions. Coming into a new team as the 'new guy' means learning what it is to be a UCF Knight and showing dedication. People listen to words, but actions speak louder. #Leadership #Teamwork #UCF #AlonzaBarnett #CollegeFootball
