Dear Akron Zips Football, Fans, and Community.,
I hope this letter finds everyone in good spirits. As I reflect on my time with the Akron Zips, I am filled with appreciation for the great support, love, and opportunities you have all given me. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to each of you.
The fans’ undying passion and dedication have been the heartbeat of our team. Every applause, every word of support, and every appearance at our games has fueled my motivation and determination to succeed. Knowing that I have such a dedicated and supportive community behind me has been incredibly inspiring. You’ve made Akron feel like home, and I’m eternally thankful.
Thank you, Coach and the coaching team, for believing in me and pushing me to new heights. Your advice, wisdom, and mentorship have helped me evolve not only as a quarterback, but also as a person. The lessons I’ve learnt under your guidance will stick with me for the rest of my life. Your dedication to excellence and constant support have been crucial in my path.
To my teammates, you are brothers. The camaraderie, hard effort, and dedication we’ve shown on and off the field have formed connections that will last a lifetime. Every practice, game, and moment spent together has helped me grow and succeed. I am extremely delighted to have played with such bright and driven folks.
Finally, I want to thank the entire Akron community for establishing an environment that has allowed me to thrive. Your support and belief in my abilities shaped me into the guy I am today. The sense of belonging and community spirit here is unparalleled, and I am proud to be a part of it.
As I move forward, I will carry with me the experiences, lessons, and friendships I formed at Akron. Thank you for everything.
With deepest thanks,
Steele Wasel
