Eric Bruyette is a 3-year starter for the Falls Church Jaguars. As
a junior he was 2nd on the team in tackles with 75, 1 sack and 1 Int. He also caught his first touchdown pass last week against Jefferson. Though Eric has only playing football since he joined the Jaguar Program he has great understanding of the game.

Eric is the type of player who just does his job on the field. He is a “yes sir” “no sir” player who is always responsive to coaching correction. As one of the defensive captain’s he provides leadership on and off the field. If Eric keeps up his hard work and dedication he has a good chance to play football in college along with some of the other seniors we have on the team.
