This award honors the late Roslyn Edwards, a co-founder of the Mount Vernon Razorbacks Youth Football League and a dedicated youth advocate.

He is currently a senior at St. Thomas Aquinas, studying Secondary English Education and aims to become a high school teacher, counselor and coach. Ibrahim resides in Mount Vernon, New York with his mother and two brothers.
 
Outside of the classroom, Conteh is a starting defensive end on the STAC sprint football team and serves as a student assistant coach and digital content creator for the men's basketball team.
