No one wanted to sing the national anthem, so one high school student took off his helmet and grabbed up a guitar.

Jackson Dean Nicholson, a Maryland high school senior, gained fame when he sang the Star-Spangled Banner with his guitar at a school event. Instead of relying on a recording, he took the field alone, captivating both the live audience and online viewers.

“It was very cool… they had no idea I was doing it ’til I brought my guitar out,” Nicholson recalled.

Beyond sports, Nicholson’s true passion is music. As “Jackson Dean,” he wrote and performed songs, working on his album during the viral video’s release.


“This is my final year… I’m going to go for it,” he expressed his decision to focus on music after high school.

Nicholson’s heartfelt rendition continues to inspire, showcasing his talent and passion. Watch and share this extraordinary moment.
