27 Aug 2024 501 Football Team 2024: Vestin Boyce – Bald Knob

Each Friday night, Bald Knob fans can find senior lineman Vestin Boyce manning the trenches on both sides of the football. No matter what he’s asked to do when his number is called, the playmaker knows that when his playing days are over, he’ll finish with no regrets.

“I maintain high standards for myself,” Boyce said. “I’ve had to play multiple positions on the field due to my teammates’ injuries and the team’s needs. I aspire to leave a lasting impression as a strong leader, motivator and dedicated athlete on the field.”

“Vestin is a tremendous leader for our football team,” Head Coach Lonnie Roberson said. “He leads both vocally and through his actions. I expect him to continue his role as a leader and to be one of the best linemen in our conference as well as the state.”

The Bulldogs were bounced from the first round of the Class 4A playoffs last season, but they return with an experienced senior-laden roster for another run.

“I want to be the best leader I can be and go as far as possible in the playoffs with my teammates, whom I’ve played with my whole football career,” Boyce said. 

“We will accomplish this by working hard, maintaining our blue-collar work ethic and staying committed to our goals.”

Off the field, he participates in FCA and track and field at Bald Knob High School and attends Russell United Methodist Church. After high school, he plans to pursue a career in coaching or nursing.
