  "account": "Brandeis football player Wynter Smith (19) led his team to a 35-32 victory over Sotomayor in a first-round playoff game, scoring four touchdowns and throwing another. Smith runs onto the sideline with teammates and acknowledges their hard work. He is a selfless leader who motivates his teammates, even offering to buy lunch for his offensive line. Smith's impact extends to other teams - he engages with JV and freshman players, showing an unselfish attitude. His humility was evident when he chose to talk about the team's performance after scoring the game-winning touchdown against O'Connor. Smith's versatility as a dual-threat quarterback sets him apart - his ability to run and pass effectively. He is driven by the desire to win, whether it's through running, passing, or making a tackle. College programs such as Colorado, UTSA, Delaware State and Furman have shown interest in Smith. Off the field, Smith is known for having a positive energy that inspires those around him.",
  "summary": "The third-year starter is a threat to take it to the house on any play and takes on a leadership role across the entire Broncos football program.",
