From an abandoned city lot in Barberton to the Summit County Hall of Fame. 🏈
This week, John was inducted alongside an incredible 2026 class, and he used his moment to thank the people who were “the voice” for him: coaches, teachers, neighbors, his wife Brittany, his kids, and a dad who drove 3+ hours to Charleston for noon kickoffs and never once complained.
He closed with a simple ask for all of us: if you see a kid on an abandoned city lot, stop and tell them they’re special. They matter. 🪨
Congratulations, John. Thank you for showing us what it looks like to keep pushing.
Who was “the voice” for you growing up? Tag them below.
