AJC Super 11 players reveal their nonfootball hidden talents
Today’s Four Questions interview is really just one: Do you have a hidden talent or interest that has nothing to do with football? It was asked to each member of the AJC Super 11 players who were revealed this month. Here are four of the best answers to that question.
Blessed Trinity linebacker David “DJ” Jacobs:
“I love modeling. Interacting with a different kind of group of people. I’ve come from a football side, and interacting with different folks from everywhere is something kind of cool about it, everything that goes into it. I’ve done two or three (modeling sessions). I want to go to Paris one day and do a fashion deal there. It’s on the bucket list.”
Note: Jacobs isn’t best known as a model, but he did model this pose during the AJC Super 11 photo shoot.
Stephenson edge Kwame “KJ” Green Jr.:
“I’m a great a cook, and I think I’m a pretty solid golfer. (My best dish is) surf and turf. That’s the go-to, or lasagna if I’m feeling something quick. Not too hard, not too easy.”
Note: Surf and turf is food that combines seafood (surf) with red meat (turf).
Kell running back Moonie Gipson:
“I can solve a Rubik’s Cube in under 30 seconds. Every time. When I got hurt, I found a hobby, and I had to learn a Rubik’s Cube really fast.”
Note: It takes Gipson even less time to run 200 meters. His personal best is 23.84 seconds. But he’s known in football more as a heavy-duty power back than a sprinter.
Grayson offensive lineman Jordan Agbanoma:
“I used to be really good at the tuba. In middle school, I started off with band. I tried out for the trombone, and they moved me to the tuba. My former band teacher, he really liked me there. He really hated that I played sports because he really wanted me to play the tuba.”
Note: The Grayson Marching Rams Band performed in London in 2024. Could’ve been there.
