A high school football player has gone viral after dominating opponents who are nearly twice his size.
Collon Holbrook's name will not be known by many outside of Deatsville, Alabama but if his impressive performances on the football field continue, that could all change.
The high school safety is noticeably the smallest player on the field when he puts his pads on, but that doesn't stop him from dishing out some big tackles.
Holbrook, in the clips that he posts onto his TikTok account, appears fearless as he goes toe-to-toe with rivals who are considerably larger than himself.
It's drawn plenty of praise and adulation from those on social media, with one commenting on one of his videos: 'This the definition of heart over size'.
Another wrote: 'Hey bro you are good. A lot of people are scared or intimidated by bigger people but you are a dog. Keep working fr!'
High school star Collon Holbrook has gone viral for his football clips
Holbrook's first passion is motocross but he's been making a splash with his football videos
Fans can't get enough of Holbrook's football clips - given how small he is compared to rivals
Deatsville is located just outside of Montgomery and has a population of less than 2,000 - with most kids in the area attending Stanhope Elmore High School.
Former NFL star Dee Milliner attended the school before going on to win two national titles with Alabama - but Holtbrook won't be looking to follow in his footsteps.
Holtbrook's first love is motocross and the youngster often shares videos and pictures from his outings on the track as he travels round the country to compete.
His viral clips are a reminder of the heartwarming moments that high school football can bring - especially amid the ongoing situation at Ursuline High School in Ohio.
It emerged earlier this week that the high school would have to shut down its football season over claims of sexual assault, hazing and stalking.
'The issues that have been raised with our team have saddened and shaken us,' the school's leadership said in a statement, as relayed by Cleveland 19.
'As we have previously reported, disciplinary actions were taken against some students, others left the program or our school entirely before discipline could be imposed, our head coach has been suspended, two assistant coaches are on administrative leave, and we continue to cooperate with investigations of this very serious matter.
The first of the two lawsuits - which were both filed by Chandra Law - alleges that a former football player at the school was hazed, physically and sexually assaulted and subjected to the creation of child pornography during a football camp this past June.
