SAN ANTONIO -- You never know who’s watching you. It’s a lesson one future football player reminded the internet this week.

  • Viral video on Twitter
  • Toddler mimics uncle's drills
  • Uncle is local San Antonio student-athlete

In a viral video on Twitter, a toddler is watching his uncle at football practice and decides he wants to try out the drills as well.

 

 

Frank Wilson IV, a cornerback at Brandeis High School, posted the video of his one-year-old nephew mimicking him. Wilson said the toddler is always at his practices, and that he had no idea he was being filmed.

Wilson is the son of UTSA head football coach Frank Wilson, and has grown up around older athletes his entire life. He said now that he’s in a position of serving as a role model. He wants to make sure to remember that someone could be watching and learning from him at any time.

He said he always had mentors that he looked up to and now he has one specific message he wants the next generation of players to remember.

“Whenever it gets hard, which it will, just keep going,” Wilson said.  “It's never too much, God will never put you through something that you can't handle, so just keep pushing.”

Wilson is committed to play at UTSA after he graduates from Brandeis next spring.
