He is the high school football player that saved 22 lives on a school bus.

A little over two weeks ago Kaleb Eulls rushed a female gun-toting student on a school bus.  He saved the lives of 22 students and the bus driver.  He is a football player at Yazoo County High School in Mississippi.  He stands  at 6-foot-4 and weighs 255 pounds.  His football instincts took over when he did what he did.  He didn’t really think about what he did as being a hero.  I think he is.  That takes not only courage but caring for other human beings while not thinking of your own safety.

The young female with the gun is 14-years old.  She threatened to shoot and ordered the bus driver to pull over.  She was arrested and charged with 22 counts of aggravated assault, 22 counts of kidnapping and one count of possession of a firearm on school property.  She was placed in the county juvenile detention facility.  By the way, Eulls a defensive end, has scholarship offers from the Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss, Southern Mississippi and Tennesssee.
