Pay Homage

Michael Penix Jr was born in Cookeville, Tennessee, but later moved and was raised in Dade City, Florida. He was drafted in the 1st round of the 2024 NFL draft to the Atlanta Falcons at pick number 8. Penix attended Tampa Bay Technical High School and started at quarterback for the Titans for two seasons, passing for 4,243 yards with 61 touchdowns and only six interceptions. 2 He committed to Indiana University to play college football.

After three seasons of college football with the Indiana Hoosiers that were limited by injury, Penix had a breakout year with the Washington Huskies in 2022 when he led the FBS in yards per game and set the school season record for passing yards.
His senior year, Penix led the Huskies to an undefeated 13-0 regular season, a victory over Texas in the CFP Semifinal Game, and the 2024 College Football Playoff National Championship game, which they lost 34-13 to Michigan. It doesn’t matter what team he plays for, he’ll always be a G.O.A.T in the city of Tampa. Let’s Pay Homage!
