Reverse GOAT: American Football
Jakari Williams had everything going for him—until one mistake landed him in juvenile detention and destroyed his football dreams. Six months later, he gets an unexpected second chance: a transfer to Malibu Prep, one of California's most elite football programs.
Leaving behind the South Side of Chicago, Jakari must prove he belongs among the nation's top recruits while navigating a world of privilege he's never known. Armed with an advanced training system and raw determination, he begins transforming from a talented athlete into a complete receiver.
Meanwhile, his three best friends back home are fighting their own battles for redemption through baseball, soccer, and basketball. Together, they've made a pact to become "better men"—but keeping that promise is harder than any game they've ever played.
Set during the historic changes in college athletics, REVERSE GOAT follows four teenagers as they chase their dreams while confronting their past mistakes. From elite California prep football to the neighborhoods of Chicago, this is a story about second chances, brotherhood, and discovering that sometimes your biggest competition is who you used to be.
