Members of the Davis High School varsity football team received a pleasant surprise when the Houston Texans donated equipment to the program.

Houston Texans linebackers John Greenard left, and Jacob Martin, right, visited the Davis High School varsity football team on Thursday, April 15. Both spoke to the players on several topics and then handed out equipment and duffel bags that the Texans donated to the Davis football program. Looking on is Davis High School head football coach Scott Joseph.

Team members and head coach Scott Joseph and his coaching staff also heard from Texans linebackers John Greenard and Jacob Martin, who addressed the players touching on several topics.

After they spoke, the players handed out duffel bags, football cleats, T-shirts, and shoulder pads.

Greenard told the players that they should take the time to enjoy and cherish their high school years and the memories they made with their classmates.

“Don’t rush it,” Greenard said, who attended the University of Florida and began his second year with the Texans. “The real world is real. Remember, don’t rush it because you might miss something.”

Martin, who is beginning his third season with the Texans, reminded the players that it takes a tremendous amount of hard work and sacrifice to play football beyond high school.

“What are you willing to sacrifice?” said Martin, who attended the University of Temple. “Not everybody here is going to make it to D1 (Division 1), so take care of your work in the classroom. To make it this far, you gotta sacrifice a lot. “

Like Greenard, Martin encouraged the Davis players to enjoy their high school years.

“Both of us encourage you to take a deep look at yourself,” Martin said. “Just remember, the little sacrifices you make will start to add up, and remember to cherish these moments.”

Joseph received an email from the Texans asking if his program would be interested in receiving equipment from Houston’s NFL team. It didn’t take long for Joseph to respond.

“I told them it would be an honor for two of their players to come out and talk to our kids. We can’t thank the Texans enough for their generosity. We definitely feel blessed,” Joseph said.
