Fulshear LB Dukes earns right to participate in the 2026 Patriot Games on ESPN and ABC
America's next generation of leaders, competitors, and champions will take center stage Aug. 9-11 at the 2026 Patriot Games, a national athletic competition celebrating the character, determination, and excellence that define the American spirit.
Freedom 250 announced that the 2026 Patriot Games will bring together outstanding young Americans from across the nation to compete, inspire, and showcase the values that have shaped the United States for nearly 250 years.
The competition will award a $250,000 scholarship prize pool to one male and one female champion, creating life-changing opportunities for young Americans while inspiring millions across the country.
Competition coverage will stream on the ESPN App, culminating in a one-hour primetime ESPN on ABC special on Thursday, Aug. 13.
Each state has one representative and the Texas Patriot is RT Dukes III of Fulshear, a linebacker on the football team.
VYPE's Matt Malatesta caught up with this elite student-athlete on the eve of the Patriot Games to talk about this tremendous opportunity.
