Channelview's Davion Vanderbilt
KIN FOLK: With Speed, Talent, and a Famous Football Lineage, Davion Vanderbilt Is Ready for His Moment
“He’s obviously my favorite player,” Vanderbilt said. “But Jalen just proves to me that you can attain your dreams through hard work.”
That message has resonated with Vanderbilt as he’s matured.

“I used to play around and be immature, but I’ve grown to see all my family as examples, along with their successes.”
Vanderbilt has already picked up a few offers on the football field as a wide receiver and continues to build his brand on the track as well.
“For me, it’s about staying healthy,” the junior said. “My hamstring held me back a little bit last year, but I feel great now.
“Track helps me so much with my speed and endurance in football, while football gives me the toughness and strength to push through the 200-meter dash. I’m just working on finishing strong through the line and not letting up at the end.”
With the bloodline, the speed and the mindset, Vanderbilt is carving out his own path at Channelview. And if history is any indication, the Falcons may have another name ready to rise on the big stage.
