Cardel Staples isn’t just catching touchdowns for McKinley High—he’s also scoring big in the classroom with a 3.7 GPA. Coaches say when the ball’s in the air, it’s basically his, but what really stands out is his drive to be the best at everything, on and off the field. His mom keeps him on track academically, reminding him that being a student comes first. Now, with a Division I offer in hand, Staples is showing Buffalo what’s possible when talent meets hard work. How do you think strong academics shape an athlete’s future? #Sports #Football #Buffalo
