As a speedy two-way player for the Lake Buena Vista High football team — at wide receiver and defensive back — Joshua Eady is going to be a big factor for coach Brant Peddy’s Vipers in his first season as part of the varsity squad.
And don’t let Eady’s 5-foot-7 stature fool you: The sophomore is tough as nails and, as a weapon for the Lake Buena Vista offense, he’s quick as can be and has the ability to turn a short screen pass into a long gain at the blink of an eye. Expect the Vipers’ young gun to make a name for himself in 2024.
Age: 15
Sport: Football
