An all-state performer this past season as a junior, Stone Bridge (Ashburn, VA) star Jeron Gouveia has actually been a standout for head coach Mickey Thompson each of the past two seasons. He has been an important part of a Stone Bridge varsity football squad that has gone 23-3 combined over the past two seasons.

A savvy performer, Gouveia had 76 “first hits” and four interceptions from the safety position last season according to Coach Thompson. He also had 19 assisted tackles and forced three fumbles.

“He just understands the entire game,” Thompson said of Gouveia, whose all-state honor was for his performance at safety. “He can play any position. In our first game [in 2006], we put him at fullback, quarterback, and even some at tight end. He doesn’t really practice at all these positions, but he got in there and stood out anyway.”

Understanding of the game is not Gouveia’s only asset.
