🏈Arlington Bowie safety Kaleb Phifer, who is deaf, has 10 Division I offers

If you like a good underdog story, meet Kaleb Phifer. The Arlington Bowie senior safety is deaf, and he's fielding 10 Division I college offers. He started playing in eighth grade to make his mother proud. "No one in my family has made it big, and I just want to be the first," Phifer said.

• Gear: cochlear implants linked to the coaches' FM system
• Interpreter: Tori Talor, together since middle school
• Family: his younger brother, also deaf, is expected at Bowie next year

Thursday was his last game as a Bowie Volunteer. Head coach Joseph Sam calls him the "quarterback of our back end." On the sideline, Talor stands next to the coach and signs the play back if Kaleb misses it. Talor is still deciding whether she'll follow him to college. Phifer's advice: "You can do anything being deaf."
