David Still Leaves Sevens Eagles for Football

“Being with the USA Sevens team has helped me tremendously, especially from a physical standpoint, and I’ll be well-conditioned to play football. I look forward to being out there and playing football, which was my first love, and I will cherish each moment I take the field. 

“One thing I’ll miss most from rugby are the boys. We’ve been through a lot together, and they’ve supported everything that I’ve done - good and bad - including this big change in my life.” 

Head Coach Mike Friday on Still’s departure from the program: 

“We are both excited and sad that David is leaving the sevens program. His childhood dream has always been to play football so to have that opportunity to chase that is something that all of us on the program support fully and wish him luck with. In his time with us he made a huge physical impact, learning as he played and turning heads in the World Series. It is testament to his hard work and commitment to learn a new game and go to dark places that enabled him to play in the Series. Hopefully those behaviors will stand him on good stead as he chases his goals.”

Still made his debut for the USA 7s team in 2021 and has been a regular player for the team since then.
