Senior Charlie Becker, one of the captains of the 2024 Jonathan Law football team, is looking to lead the Lawmen to a successful season.
Becker is a three-year starter. He was the starting quarterback his junior year and moved to wide receiver for the remainder of his junior season and has remained a wide receiver for his senior season.
“He works just as hard if not harder than everyone; he shows up to everything and takes every bit of coaching you give him,” Offensive Coordinator Ryan Pearson said. “Charlie has always done what the program has asked from him.”
Becker always puts his best foot forward and tries to help the team in any way possible.
“I will help by giving my all for the team and working hard every day,” Becker said.
His coaches said that Becker is a role model on the field but even more off the field.
“Off the field, he models the ideal image and lifestyle of what we are looking for in captains,” Head Coach Chris Haley said. “He is a trusted member of our family and is incredibly fitting for the job.”
While Becker is a great athlete and teammate on the field, Peasrson said is an even better person off it.
“While he does a lot on the field, he also excels in the classroom and is a very respectful to all staff in the building and always polite to anyone he comes across,” Pearson said.
Becker’s teammates see his devotion to the team and his ability to drive and make the Lawman better these past four years.
“Charlie has shown four years of hard work, has shown up to every event and every workout,” senior Jack DiStassio said. “So no one deserves it more than him.”
Becker being a captain and a senior he has the responsibility to help and make sure his fellow teammates know what they are doing.
“He is very talented and cares alot about the development of the underclassmen,” sophomore Matthew Witteman said. “He should be a captain because he has been here for four years and has always been someone everyone looks up to.”
The Becker family has been a part of the Law football team for a long time. Charlie’s older brother Mikey Becker was the starting quarterback for the Lawmen in 2019.
“The Becker family is a huge name in Law football and Charlie has surpassed all the hype he had coming into the program and continues to excel,” Pearson said.
