For Oak Ridge High School freshman Nico Bron, football is more than an after-school activity. It is a major part of his life and something he hopes to pursue at the collegiate level.
Bron starts at both middle linebacker and running back for Oak Ridge’s freshman team, giving him opportunities to contribute on offense and defense as he begins his high school career.
Although Bron describes a challenging season for the team, he takes pride in delivering big runs and hard hits that help his teammates. Playing both ways allows him to gain experience from different perspectives while continuing to develop his skills.
At running back, Bron looks to make the most of his carries and create positive plays for the offense. At middle linebacker, he embraces the physical side of the game and the opportunity to help his team get stops.
His long-term goal is to earn college offers and continue playing football after high school. As a freshman, he has the coming years to develop, gain experience and work toward that ambition.
“Football is my life,” Bron said.
That passion is at the center of his journey as he builds his foundation with Oak Ridge’s freshman team.
