Future Alief Alum: Scholar Athlete

This week the Touchdown Club of Houston honored 25 top scholar athletes from local high school football squads, including Alief Taylor quarterback Jordan Are'. As a finalist, Are' and his parents were invited to the club’s annual event and he received a $500 scholarship.
Players are nominated by their coaches. The criteria includes high grade point average, extra-curricular activities, citizenship, athletic prowess, and athletes must be starters on their squad. The presidents of Rice University, Texas Southern University and the University of Houston vote to select the top players.
Are' has made it known that he would like to attend Harvard University next fall. He is currently ranked 10th in the Taylor senior class of more than 600 students and he has a 4.3 GPA
