Keelan Chilton, senior for Martin High School's football team, has been selected as the City of Arlington's Student-Athlete of the Month for October 2017.

According to Head Coach Bob Wager, Chilton continues to display high character and a unique passion on and off the football field.

"Keelan Chilton is the model that other athletes should pattern themselves after," Wager said. "He sits in the front row. He carries himself with high character all of the time and then he's a fierce competitor on the football field."

While Chilton has received a football scholarship to Stetson University, he's currently undecided about where he will be attending college. He does dream of pursuing a math degree and has a passion for helping people in need.
