SUMMARY: Lelani Armenta is the first woman to ever play for Jackson State, and she recently sat down to discuss her experience. Armenta has been kicking since she was a child and had supportive coaches throughout high school and college. She suffered an injury before her senior year, but worked hard to recover and get back to playing. Despite facing criticism on social media, Armenta remains motivated and continues to practice and rehab with the goal of returning to the football field. Her inspiration outweighs the hate, as she hopes to make a difference for others. Recently, she made 12 out of 12 extra point attempts in practice.
