Clayton Fejedelem: In his own words
"When I look back, I will remember the Fall of 2010 and the last remaining seconds of the Tinley Park game. We were losing with less than 30 seconds left in the second half, and I had the opportunity to return a punt. There was no way that I was going to allow my team to lose after putting in all the hard work that we had put in, so I picked the punt up after its second bounce and returned it 67 yards to win the game."
Eric Michaelsen: Coach’s tribute
“Clayton (Fejedelem) is an incredible football player. He has an unmatched work ethic. He was our strongest player. Clayton has tremendous leadership skills. He made plays for our team and willed us to victory on several occasions. He was honored for all-State, all-Area, all-Conference and was the MVP of the South Suburban Conference Blue Division.”
Personal
Fejedelem was born June 2 of 1993. At this time, his college choice is undecided.
"I enjoy working out, snowboarding, and wakeboarding," he said. "And I admire my mother and father for pushing me to be the best that I can possibly be."
