Brandon Thomas Future Educator Division I Football Player Motivational Speaker Resilience, determination, and a passion for making an impact define my journey. I am Brandon Thomas, a student-athlete at Eastern Washington University, majoring in Health and Physical Education. My path has been anything but ordinary—overcoming adversity has shaped me into the person and competitor I am today. From battling osteosarcoma and making the life-changing decision to amputate my leg, to stepping onto the field as a Division I football player, my story is one of perseverance and purpose. I have embraced every challenge with an unshakable mindset, whether in academics, athletics, or my commitment to inspiring others. My goal is to make a lasting impact, both as an athlete and as an educator, helping students and athletes develop the confidence, skills, and resilience to succeed in life.
