Aaron gave up on football

Aaron grew up in a very small place, and he and his parents did not have much exposure. Not many people knew his name, and because of that, he didn't have any scholarships in his high school days.
He said that he worked hard as he didn't get any scholarships.
He said that he tried to figure out what he wanted in his life in spring, and he mentioned that it was a big moment for him.

While playing a game with All-Star, his confidence was boosted, and he played well in that game. He trained himself hard.
Aaron then talked about giving up on football. As he was playing baseball, he was very focused on playing summer baseball with the Lyon team, and he was not sure what to do.
He had three options: to play football, baseball, or be on the All-Star team. His first love is football, so he chose football over others.
The interviewer then wanted to know about Purdue's rejection letter that he received. He said that it was his first rejection letter, and he took it as a slap on his face.
