Javeon Says
• One thing most people don’t know is that he’s only been playing football for two years
• One word to describe him on the football field is “effort”
• His favorite family recipe to make is his mom’s cookies
• If he could go back in time and change one thing he would start playing football sooner
• Three words to describe him are trustworthy, reliable and caring
