She was surprised with Super Bowl tickets Friday morning onShe and her mother had been invited to"GMA" after Michael Strahan, a co-host on the show, had heard about the young offensive tackle.
Echols started playing football at the age of 4 with her brother and cousins. She moved from Holcomb to Oxford in 2015 and began her first year playing organized football with the OMS Chargers in 2019."It was odd for them to see a female walking into a meeting," Echols said in a"GMA" video that aired Friday."The coach was surprised, my fellow classmates were surprised and I was surprised that I was doing this finally.
