We’ve all been there, down the Twitter rabbit hole and into the abyss of weird dance crazes, Michael Jordan crying memes and enough pictures of food to make you nauseous.

That is not Kameron Kincheon’s Twitter timeline. His feed reads like a college resume.

His bio: “C/O 2021. Dual Threat QB. CE King. GPA-4.63. 40—4.88. SAT 1220. ACT 20. Class Rank 18/637 Top 2%. 21-6A Honorable Mention QB.”

His pinned tweet is a screenshot of his Academic Achievement Record.

Scroll past the countless videos of him working on his QB skills and you’ll find a tweet of a business card his father made for him to hand out at the Area Conference for Top Teens of America. Seriously.

The senior-to-be QB from Houston C.E. King just gets it.

“Growing up, academics was always first with my parents,” he said. “It has always been a major part of my life. Knowing what good grades can do for you, I’m trying to set myself up for college. So I’ve made that a focal point. Colleges like to see good grades on transcripts.”

Indeed they do, which is precisely the reason for that particular pinned tweet, often a place where those hoping to get recruited share their highlights.

“Every athlete is going to post their highlights,” Kincheon said. “College coaches are going to check that. Having grades as the first thing you see checks off one of the boxes that you have. I just want to get that out the way. If they know I’m good academically then they can go see what I can do on the field. It makes it easier on them.”

Much of Kincheon’s determination comes from the endless pursuit to honor his late mother. Linda Davis passed away in 2008 when he was only five years old. Though young, he still remembers her coming home from her job at Popeyes late at night to make sure every one of the five mouths in the apartment were fed before bed.

“She always made sure we had something to eat, clothes and a place to sleep,” he said.

If she could see her son now.

This time next year, Kincheon won’t just be getting ready to graduate from high school. He’ll also be ready to claim his associate degree.

C.E. King is part of the Early College High School initiative that allows students to receive a high school diploma and an associate degree by taking a mixture of high school and college classes.

“When you are in eighth grade you have the option of doing early college high school,” he said. “Your freshman and sophomore year, you take two college classes. Then once you get to your junior year you determine your degree plan. Then you go to the college and take classes there, which act as both high school and college classes. If you pass all your classes you graduate with an associate degree.”

That’s a foregone conclusion given Kincheon’s academics.

But taking college courses while leading his team to a 7-4 record and the 6A playoffs in his first season as the starting quarterback is a whole other accomplishment.

“You can imagine being the quarterback and having that kind of pressure playing against North Shore and West Brook, Deer Park, La Porte, these perineal powerhouse programs and still trying to maintain a 95 in his classes,” C.E. King head coach Derek Fitzhenry said. “He has.”

Fitzhenry estimates that 35 to 40 percent of his football players are pursuing their associate degree.

“We’re the only school in Houston where you can do college courses and extracurriculars,” Fitzhenry said. “Most of them you have to go to a separate school. Our program is rated No. 5 in the nation in terms of early-college programs. It’s because we have those type kids here, those high achievers.”

None more so than his quarterback who is working out four times a day during this COVID-19 pandemic to make sure his tools are as sharp as they can be by the time the season rolls around.

“First workout starts at 7:30 a.m. for about two hours,” Kincheon said. “Eat and get the schoolwork done, of course. Around 1 or 2 p.m., I head to the field and get some sand work in and do my quarterback drills. Do that for two or three hours. Then I go to my trainer, my footwork trainer, at about 7 p.m. Come home around 9 p.m., eat, and then hit up some light weights.”

Kincheon said he’ll spend his weekends getting schoolwork done so he can make sure to allot himself enough time for his ambitious workout regimen.  

“What he’s doing is really phenomenal,” Fitzhenry said.

Kincheon has been offered football scholarships to Division II Missouri S&T and Division III Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. He’s also hearing from Harvard, Yale, Davidson and Georgetown.

If you’re in need of any more information, give Kincheon a follow on Twitter. He has a business card for you.
