Ashaad Mabry didn’t tell his mother he’d decided to give up football.

He knew she wouldn’t let him. So only a few weeks after his mom had dropped him off to begin his career at Oklahoma State, Mabry walked into the coaches’ offices, relinquished the scholarship he’d always wanted, packed his bags and traveled home to San Antonio.

Corchelle Mabry finally found out when her youngest son marched into her office at the Career Point College day-care center.

She burst into tears.

“I honestly wanted Ashaad to stay at Oklahoma State,” Corchelle said. “He loves football, that’s what he wants to do. And I didn’t want him to not fulfill his dream, trying to take care of Mom.”

Wow. Does every team have as many feel good stories as we do?

I wish him luck especially if he makes the team better.
