Imagine wake boarding for the first time. You’re getting pulled by a boat full of your family members. You get the courage to finally stand up, and then you go for your first jump, and then you completely wipe out.
Blake Branson Humble knows a lot about wiping out while wake boarding. Humble is a 21-year-old student-athlete here at NWOSU. He is majoring in health and sports science and minoring in psychology. Humble is also the punter for the NWOSU football team.
Humble was born and raised in Midland, Texas. He started playing football in the 3rd grade. His little league team, the GMFL Chiefs, were one of the best teams to come out of Midland. They had an outstanding record of 47-0. “We never lost a game, we were the best,” said Humble.
Humble played not only football but he also played baseball and ran track and field for the Midland High Bulldogs. “My high school was actually featured in the movie Friday Night Lights,” said Humble.
Humble has been attending Northwestern since the fall of 2015. He has played one season and missed one season due to an injury. This upcoming season will be his second season to play for the rangers.
Humble doesn’t only like football. He enjoys playing golf, hunting, and wake boarding. After college he wants to further his career in sports but he plans to work for his family business that is ran by his father.
Humble still enjoys wake boarding but still has trouble landing that jump. “I tried to do a back flip my first time, and landed smack dab on my head,” said Humble. He aspires one day to not wipe out and to finally land that jump.
