One High Tech High School football player is continuing to defy the odds by receiving a full scholarship to Notre Dame.
Namir Argilagos has been a star athlete in high school, but his life hasn't always been so easy.
In seventh grade, Argilago's mother went to prison for selling drugs and soon after his father went to jail.
The Asbury Park teenager says this broke him down emotionally, but he was able to persevere.
Argilagos has tried to be role model for his younger brother. He now lives with his grandmother and wants to play for the Notre Dame football team.
