I came to A&M-Commerce determined not to let my family down. Four conference championships, twice all-conference player, graduated with honors. Go from grit to greatness.

Yah “Jason” Osei's mother immigrated to London from Ghana in the late 1980s searching for a better life. By the time Jason reached four years old, his biological father was no longer part of his family life and his mother struggled to make ends meet for her four children. Osei watched American football late at night, fascinated by the speed and intensity of the game where powerful athletes like himself could dominate. When two English football coaches saw him playing basketball and asked him to try football, Jason seized the opportunity.
After playing on club teams in England and Finland, his coach produced a highlight reel that captured the interest of colleges in the United States. He went on to become an All-Conference lineman, a member of three conference championship teams and an Honors graduate.
