More than Gatorade's Texas Track & Field P.O.Y, Foster's impact transcends sports

At 6-foot-5, 330 pounds, Bryce Foster is a physical wonder. A larger-than-life human being born to play sports. The former Katy Taylor star dominated on the football field and the throwing ring in 2020-21, earning a scholarship to compete in both sports at Texas A&M.

The latest honor for Foster—the No. 65 overall prospect in football for the class of 2021, per 247Sports and a nationally-ranked thrower—came Thursday, when he was recognized as the 2020-21 Gatorade Texas Boys Track and Field Player of the Year. Foster won the Class 6A shot put state championship in May with a throw of 71-feet, 1-inch, the longest of any high school athlete in the country. He also won bronze in the discus at state, and his mark of 210-feet, 10-inches at the district meet on April 6 was the longest high school throw in the country this year.

"It's childhood dreams coming true," Foster said. "Whenever I was younger, I would see things like the Gatorade Player of the Year, and it'd be these big names winning. I'd think, 'Man, imagine if I could do that. That'd be really cool.' I used to look up to those winners as a kid, and now maybe there's young kids out there looking up to me. It's a great thing for me to be a role model for those kids."
