Meet our latest Rising Star out of Delhi Middle School, Aydin Harrison is proving to be a game-changer on both sides of the ball. As a running back, he has the strength to power through defenders and the speed to break away for big plays. On defense, his instincts and toughness make him a force at linebacker, always ready to deliver hard hits and shut down the opposition.

He understands that success requires hard work, and he’s constantly refining his skills, improving his footwork, and increasing his strength. His commitment to training and football IQ development shows his determination to reach the next level.
In December, Aydin had the opportunity to showcase his talent in the Gridiron Football Junior High Bowl Game for Team North. Competing against top-tier athletes, he held his own and proved he has the potential to excel at a higher level. The experience only fueled his desire to keep pushing forward.
With a strong work ethic and a passion for the game, Aydin Harrison is a name to watch. His drive to improve and his ability to make plays in key moments show that his best football is still ahead.
