Tindley Alumni

Now a student at Mount St. Joseph University, Justus is studying Business Marketing while continuing his football career. As he completes his first year, he has already achieved academic sophomore status, thanks to the college credits he earned during high school. This early progress has positioned him to graduate ahead of schedule and accelerate toward his long-term goals.

During his time at Tindley, Justus stood out both on the field and in the classroom. As a dedicated student-athlete and active participant in the Y Achievers program, he embraced the rigor and expectations that prepared him for success beyond high school. He credits much of his growth to the educators and mentors who supported him along the way. Teachers like Mrs. Ana and Ms. Tylar encouraged him to stay disciplined and strive for excellence, while Coach Graham helped shape his work ethic and mindset both on and off the field.

One of Justus’s most important lessons was learning consistency. Balancing academics and athletics required focus year-round, and by his final two years at Tindley, he committed to maintaining that discipline in all areas of his life.

Looking ahead, Justus plans to build a career in real estate. His goal is to become a real estate agent and eventually own rental properties as part of his own business. He is currently exploring opportunities in both Indianapolis and Cincinnati, with long-term plans to expand into larger, high-growth markets.

Justus’s journey reflects the power of early college preparation, strong mentorship, and a commitment to excellence—values that continue to shape Tindley scholars long after graduation.
