Justin Buzzard

Justin Buzzard is not your ordinary collegiate defensive end. At 48, Buzzard is the oldest collegiate football player in history. A father of three and a Bay Area pastor, Buzzard's comeback stems from his son who encouraged him to get back on the gridiron after an injury interrupted his dreams roughly 30 years ago. He trained, added muscle, and made the San Jose City College squad. Ever since, he's been part of the national conversation about refusing to let age stop you from chasing your dreams. His story offers brands a rare crossover between college athletics and audiences interested in longevity, personal growth, fatherhood, leadership and reinvention.  His comeback has been covered across ABC News, NBC Bay Area, Fox News, CBS Evening News, and SFGATE, among others. If you ever forget how old he actually is, just take a look at the number of his jersey.
