Noah is a dynamic, hard-hitting force with explosive power and a fierce mindset that sets him apart the moment he steps on the field. Whether he’s blowing up gaps at linebacker or bulldozing through defenders as a fullback, Noah brings a fearless edge and relentless motor to every snap. He’s a student of the game with high-level instincts, diagnosing motion, reading formations, and adjusting on the fly to make plays before they happen. What separates Noah from everyone else at his position is his unmatched will to improve. He absorbs coaching, learns from every rep, and brings intensity that never wavers. A coach can expect maximum effort, full physicality, and a warrior mentality every time Noah suits up.

Across his 7th and 8th grade seasons, Noah put up jaw-dropping numbers on both sides of the ball, scoring 21 touchdowns on offense and racking up 168 tackles, 4 interceptions, and 11 pass deflections on defense. His biggest improvement came in leadership, stepping up vocally and emotionally for his team. He was named to Battle of the Regions twice, earned All-Star honors, and was a two-time Region Player of the Year mention. That kind of success is no accident; it’s powered by pain, discipline, and a deep fire fueled by the loss of a close friend, Noah Cross, and the challenge of recovering from a broken leg in 7th grade. This offseason, Noah’s focus is on taking his strength, speed, and football IQ to even higher levels, with over 15 camp invites already lined up as he prepares for a massive freshman season at Belfry High.

Noah doesn't flinch when things get tough. He pushes through adversity with focus and resilience, knowing the work he’s put in is what will separate him from the rest. His dream is to play college football, D1 if possible, but his heart doesn’t care about division or stage. He just wants to play the game he loves wherever he’s given the chance. His advice to younger athletes, be coachable, be yourself, and let your mistakes mold you, not break you. His favorite coaching moments come from Coach Bogar, the ultimate motivator, and Coach Vipperman, who poured into him with wisdom and belief. Noah's not just a football player but a force, and he's only getting started.

I assess that Noah brings elite-level intensity, unmatched toughness, and a student-of-the-game mentality that will instantly elevate his high school defense. His physicality in the box, quickness to read and react, and ability to rally teammates make him a foundational piece for Belfry’s future success. With continued development, he’ll be a nightmare for offensive coordinators and a dream for any coach who values grit and effort.

As Noah steps into the spotlight this upcoming season, expect him to be even more dominant. His hunger to grow, willingness to be coached, and deep-rooted motivation make his ceiling incredibly high. With more exposure and a strong camp circuit ahead, he’s bound to turn heads and prove that he’s more than just stats, he’s a game-changer with heart, soul, and serious potential. Stay tuned!
