“I would first thank God who is ahead of my life for the many blessings he has given me and my family. I thank my parents, my pastors and church for helping me develop in me the God fearing young man I am today. St. Edward has been everything to me! Through my ups and downs there is no place I’d rather be! The Ed’s community has supported me through anything every step of the way. So I would like to thank all coaches , especially Coach Tom Lombardo for giving me the best football experience of a lifetime. Can’t wait to look forward to the future to my new home West Virginia University, everything has been just a blessing. Also finally I want to thank my teammates for being the brothers that I have added to my family. This is for you grandma!#LongLiveJohnnieMae”
