NATIONAL FOOTBALL FOUNDATION

& COLLEGE HALL OF FAME

WALTER J. ZABLE/SAN DIEGO CHAPTER

We are justifiably proud of the genuine sportsmanship and integrity exhibited in high

school and college football. An emotionally integrated force, football provides the

common denominator and rallying ground for students, faculty, alumni and friends

of our great American schools,colleges and universities. To no small degree, football

provides a unique training field for leadership in our competitive society. We earnestly

strive to support educators in a desire to maintain the popularity of football as the

finest and most testing game for developing skills of competition. Weighing equally

with football ability in selection of the Scholar Leader Athlete awards, are scholastic

excellence and community leadership. Tonight’s event is the 48th Annual Banquet

to honor outstanding Scholar-Leader-Athlete high school and college players of the

Greater San Diego area selected by the Awards Committee of this chapter.

SCHOLAR–LEADER–ATHLETE SELECTION

The 2019-20 National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame Scholar Athletes

were selected from a group of outstanding nominees from San Diego area high schools,

colleges and universities. The schools were contacted, and recommendations from

principals and football coaches, along with grade transcripts, were considered. A

scholastic average of 3.0 or better is one of the requirements for consideration of this

top award. The student must have also received All League honors as a football player.

Citizenship on and off the campus is a third consideration in the selection process.

WILLIE JONES – IN MEMORIAM

In June 1994, Willie Jones had everything going for him. He was young.

handsome, intelligent and had been awarded a four-year

scholarship to Cornell University. Then, on the terrible, tragic night of

June 17, a sudden act of violence ended those dreams and the promise

he offered not only to us, but to the world he would have served.

We, at the Walter J. Zable/San Diego Chapter of the National Football

Foundation, vowed that Willie would not be forgotten. We could think

of no more fitting, nor more deserved honor, than to name our Most

Inspirational Player Award in his memory. We hope that by reminding

ourselves of our loss, we will be inspired to overcome with courage and

the adversity we face in our own lives. At the same time, we hope his

memory will inspire us to the kind of excellence he strived to attain.

Willie Jones was 18 years old when he was taken from us. He had a

smile as big as all outdoors. Everyone who met him, loved him. He was

a graduate with a 3.97 grade point average. He was the student council

president, captain of Lincoln High’s wrestling team, and his dream was to

become a doctor and open clinics to serve the San Diego Community.

His mother, Rosetta Jones, said she and her husband, Willie, are

extremely proud that the chapter has named its Most Inspirational Player

Award after their son. Willie Jones is present with us this evening to

present the award. Unfortunately, Rosetta is unable to be here as she

is currently battling serious health issues. Our thoughts and prayers are

with her, Willie and their family.

WILLIE JONES MOST INSPIRATIONAL PLAYERS

Sam Camposeco

Francis Parker

Sam Camposeco had been through

more adversity in the first 10 years of his

life than most face in an entire lifetime.

But he refused to let an unimaginable

childhood keep him from achieving his

dreams.

Camposeco’s father was murdered

before Camposeco turned 1. He spent the

next seven years being raised, along

with his three younger half-siblings, by

a single mother who battled substance

abuse issues. At 8, Camposeco was placed

into foster care, and he and one of his brothers were separated from his

two youngest siblings. That foster family was physically abusive

and after one year he was placed with another family who legally

adopted him.

Those circumstances could have derailed Camposeco’s future. Instead,

the 5-foot, 10-inch, 200-pound running back and linebacker at Francis

Parker is carrying a 3.11 GPA and will likely continue to play football at a

top college while studying criminal justice.

Camposeco, a unanimous pick as team captain by his teammates,

was named to the All-Pacific League First-Team Defense for the second

straight year. The four-year varsity starter was also voted by teammates

and coaches as the team’s co-MVP in 2019. He helped lead Francis Parker

to a Pacific League title and San Diego Section Division V championship

in his senior year.

Off the field and out of the classroom, Camposeco has completed over

60 hours of community service. He has volunteered at the San Diego

Food Bank, participated in multiple beach and park cleanups and has

offered his time as a referee and scorekeeper for Sports for Exceptional

Athletes.

Camposeco is currently undecided on which college he will attend. In

his free time, he enjoys working out, playing video games and watching

horror and crime movies. Sam is the son of Claudia Tapia and Francisco

Camposeco.

10” to his teammates, demonstrated an

abundance of courage and perseverance

throughout his senior season. He shined

divorce, uncle’s unexpected death and

learning of his father, Baron, getting

diagnosed with cancer.

The 5-foot, 8-inch, 165-pound wide

receiver and kick returner transferred from

Westview to Lincoln in 2019, allowing him

to be close to his father during his time of

need. The decision was not easy, given Benjamin was leaving behind his

mother’s home, his brother, his girlfriend and his former school.

Despite all of this, O’Brien turned in a memorable season. He caught 13

touchdown passes and had 1,169 yards receiving. He was named to the

All-CIF San Diego Section Second-Team Offense, the All-Western League

First-Team Offense and was honored at the 2019 KUSI Silver Pigskin Gala

as the Special Teams Player of the Year.

recognition three times throughout his high school career. O’Brien was

selected to the Golden Leader Club at Westview and is now part of the

engineering club at Lincoln. He has spent countless hours volunteering

for NFL Flag Play 60 as a coach for youth teams.

of San Diego. He aspires to major in business and political science. In his

free time, O’Brien enjoys listening to music and spending time with his

brother, Brody. Benjamin is the son of Jenette and Baron O’Brien.

Tyler Roach

La Jolla High School

2017. He took over a program that had not

won a league championship since 1994 and

had not captured a CIF San Diego Section

title since 1993. Both droughts ended in

2019.

After finishing with a 3-7 record and

missing the playoffs in 2018, Roach and the

Vikings turned in a magical 2019 campaign.

La Jolla started the season 2-3 before

winning eight of its final 10 games. The result was an Eastern League

title, a CIF San Diego Section Division III championship, the school’s first

Southern Regional Championship win and the school’s first trip to a state

title game.

The Vikings defeated previously unbeaten Scripps Ranch 17-10 in the

section championship game and then took down Marina High, 27-14, in

the SoCal Regional championship. La Jolla fell to Escalon 52-21 in the

Division 4-A state title game. The team did just as great off the field,

finishing with an unweighted GPA of 3.33 and citizenship of 3.63.

Roach has built the program at La Jolla around the core philosophy of

“Sail the Ship.” The word SAIL is significant to the foundation of the

program, standing for Selflessness, Accountability, Integrity and Love.

Roach graduated from University City High School in 2004. He played

football at West Virginia State University and Azusa Pacific University. He

graduated from Azusa with a bachelor’s degree in sociology and minor in

psychology in 2008. He began his coaching career at University City High in

2009 and had multiple stops before taking over as head coach at La Jolla.

Roach and his wife of eight years, Leslie, live in Scripps Ranch with their

two sons, Marshall, 4, and Reid, 1.

He had the courage to revamp the

playoff divisions based on competitive

balance rather than enrollment. The result

was all schools - even those in rebuilding years - entered the season with a

chance to compete for a section championship. In addition, the creation of

the Open Division allowed the top football teams in the section to compete

for a championship at the end of each year.

While changing the playoff structure was his biggest accomplishment,

Schniepp has done so much more during his time as the fifth commissioner

in the section.

He has improved communications between CIF offices and administrators,

he helped create Battle of the Fans and he has begun to bring awareness to

the importance of mental health for young people.

Before his time as commissioner, Schniepp was successful in the position

of Coordinator of Athletics for the Sweetwater School District. He was

NATIONAL FOOTBALL FOUNDATION

& COLLEGE HALL OF FAME

Purposes of the NFFCHF

• The PROMOTION of our American Football game as an integral and vital

part of our educational process.

• The ENCOURAGEMENT of playing the game at all levels of competition on

sandlots, in junior and senior high schools and in colleges.

• The ESTABLISHMENT of the proper incentives and ideals for American youth

consistent with high standards of sportsmanship among the players.

Except for a small professional staff, the work of the National Football

Foundation is carried on entirely by volunteers organized into more than 119

chapters in the football centers of our nation. Membership is expected to rapidly

exceed 12,000 members lending their enthusiasm and help through these local

chapters. Recognition of young Scholar Leader Athletes is one of the most

rewarding efforts of the National Football Foundation and truly brings the spirit

of the Foundation to the grass roots level throughout the country.

The College Football Hall of Fame

In recognition of achievements on the football field and their contributions to

society. more than 987 football players and 214 coaches from more than 268

colleges have been elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta,

Georgia.

All members of the National Football Foundation have the privilege of placing

in nomination the names of worthy college players who have completed their

active careers at least five years before nomination. Annually, each chapter selects

several players for consideration by a regional screening board. New Hall of Fame

members are elected by a distinguished group of people closely identified with

football, serving as the National Awards Committee.

As America’s greatest competitive sport, football deserves its place in our

country’s history, setting the standard for all amateur sports. Commemorating

this position of leader ship, the College Football Hall of Fame becomes a national

shrine devoted to fair play, courageous action and the will to win.

It is these aspects of the game — its influences on national character, its

hardening and tempering of the will — with which the College Football Hall of

Fame is most concerned.
