Ziyare Addison is pulling in some impressive offers recently, including one from Rutgers football last week. But perhaps what is standing out the most about Addison is not the star rankings and the offer list. It is his character and his work ethic.
On Sunday night, Addison was honored by Sumner High School (Riverview, Florida) with the Stingray Award, given to a football player who shows hard work and discipline.
It is impressive that Addison, one of the top recruits in Florida, is also a player who sets the standard in the locker room for his hard work. Especially since he could likely slide by on his natural talent and still be a dominant player at the high school level:
Blessed to have won the Stingray Award. This award displays the Athlete who is committed to work, Shows Discipline and represents what the Summer Way is. To God Be The Glory! @SumnerHSFootbal @HCPS_SumnerHS @AlonzoAshwood @LAWRENC67947737 pic.twitter.com/YR5TmBALcl
