A high school football player scored three touchdowns in a shirt and tie.


Rob Brown College Preparatory High School senior Lamont Butler showed out in 30-28 win over Phelps. The two-way star had the game of his life, making major impacts on both offense and defense.

Due to a pregame mix-up, he was forced to make a uniform change before kickoff. Let’s just say he dressed to impress!

Butler forgot an undershirt to wear beneath his jersey. So, he instead opted to go business casual.

Ron Brown High School is located in Washington, DC and competes at the Division A level. The Monarchs went 5-5 and finished third in the DCIAA Stripes League with a 3-2 record.

Last Thursday, it wrapped up its regular season against district rival Phelps.

Before the game, Lamont Butler realized he forgot his undershirt. Rather than asking around to teammates for a replacement, he wore what he had – a button up long sleeve shirt and tie.

It was officially a business trip. He made sure he performed.

Butler played both offense and defense. He excelled at both. His dominance was the biggest difference between a season ending win and closing out his career with a loss.

Butler ran for 174 yards and scored three times. He also forced a fumble and picked off two passes. There was nothing he couldn’t do.

The high school football star won All-DMV Player of the Week honors as a result of his production. He also gained viral fame and the nickname, “Deacon 12,” a hat tip to the shirt and tie.

There’s not a much better way to finish the regular season!
