Touchdown Jesus
ABOUT THE BOOK
Some moves you never see coming. And some hits stay with you long after the final whistle.
Crem Hill had a plan. Star fullback. Notre Dame. Touchdown Jesus. A future carved out on every Friday night under the lights in Ohio. Then his father's job promotion ripped him from everything he knew and dropped him into a small Wyoming town where the football team had not won a rivalry game in thirteen years and the hallways had already decided who belonged and who did not.
The new kid never has it easy. But Crem is about to learn that the hardest opponent he will ever face is not the brutal middle linebacker Curtis Blomquist who rules the locker room with cruelty and controls the hallways with fear. The hardest opponent is everything neither of them will say out loud.
Because Curtis is not just an enemy. He is a mirror.
Two boys. Broken homes. Shattered expectations. And one girl, Nichole Simmons, standing exactly between them. What begins as rivalry becomes something neither of them expected. And what ends on a championship field under the lights of Notre Dame will change both of them forever.
Touchdown Jesus is a coming of age story written by a man who lived every moment of it. The bullying. The locker rooms. The courage it takes to stand up when you are terrified. The forgiveness that takes decades to arrive. This is not just a football story. It is a story about what happens when the game ends and real life begins.
Life does not come with a playbook. But sometimes the people who make it the hardest teach you the most.
