'We always knew': Penix family shares story of superstar son
Before he was the Maxwell Award-winning quarterback leading the University of Washington to the College Football Playoff National Championship game, Michael Penix Jr. went by "Little Mike" in his hometown of Dade City.
No matter if it was basketball, baseball or football, "Little Mike" was always one of the best.
"What really wowed us was when he was about two...we were in New York, and we're sitting there just tossing a little wiffle ball that my mom had around the house. He hit that wiffle ball with that bat, and it actually went on my mom's garage," said his mother, Takisha Penix.
