Was sitting and thinking about the best teachers I’ve had with school coming up and I just want to specifically give a shout out to Mr. Scott Erickson. He was my geometry teacher sophomore year and thinking back on it he was a teacher that truly cared about me as a person, student, and athlete. That meant everything to me, he was always keeping up with my weightlifting and football. Congratulating me on every accolade, offer, good game, medal or win. When I get to Umass and hopefully one day if it’s Gods plan, the NFL, I’m always gonna remember him and bring him up as one of the names and influential people on my path of success! @ScottErickson5
