For a high school football player from Delaware County, the sky is the limit, as he prepares to head to Yale on a full scholarship.

"Today it actually hit reality, cause I was thinking, I’m actually going to Yale on a full scholarship. Not many can say that they’re going to a top school in the country and also playing Division I football," Abu Kamara stated.

"This season, I had 2,832 rushing yards, 42 touchdowns, 10 interceptions. I broke the school and the county’s touchdown record," Kamara said. Abu started playing football when he was 9-years-old. But, as he started to excel and fall in love with the game, his mom was on the fence, until the freshman coach, Dennis Lux, made her a promise.

"He said, ‘Don’t worry, I’ll take care of him.’ Since that day, my worries were done," Salamatu commented.
