🌟‼️ JACKSCON CANTWELL — 2025 NATIONAL GATORADE FOOTBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR! ‼️🌟

@Gatorade Player of the Year is the top honor in high school sports, celebrating the nation’s best high school athletes for their success on the field, in the classroom, and in the community.

Jackson was selected from more than one million other student-athletes who play high school football nationwide, joining an elite legacy of former Gatorade National Football Player of the Year athletes. He is the first player from Missouri to ever win the national award.

This morning, former Cleveland Browns offensive tackle and Hall of Famer, @joethomas73 surprised Cantwell with the award at school surrounded by his teammates, family and friends.
