“Ultimate leader, ultimate team guy.” – Johnny Hughes, Key West head football coach

In last Friday’s victory over Killian, Key West’s Jaden Fox surpassed the 1,000-yard mark in rushing yards this season. His 194-yard performance resulted in 1 Conch TD, Fox’s 10th on the season. Coach Johnny Hughes describes Fox as “the complete player, better off the field than on.” Fox is credited with leading his team into tough situations, exuding confidence and fortifying the resolve of those around him. For his feats of athleticism on the field as well as his unmatched leadership, Key West’s Jaden Fox is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.
