Kai, wow! What an incredible journey! I am so proud of you, son. You’ve traveled a remarkable path, from Japan to Omaha, then to Phoenix, and back to Omaha, where it all came together.
In your final year, you have accomplished so much, and you truly went out with a bang! You left everything on the field 🏈, on the court 🏀, and on the course 🏌🏽. Now, as you prepare to embark on your college football career at the University of Nebraska Kearney in just a week, remember that your first week on campus will also involve preparing for the Shrine Bowl. What an amazing way to conclude your high school football journey! Then it’s time to check into your college football life.
You brought tears of joy to your pops yesterday, and I couldn’t be prouder of you, son. As you move forward, remember to wake up each day with the mindset to improve just 1% better every day. Keep God first in all that you do🙏🏾
Congratulations, Kai!
Love you son
