Oak Lawn Spartan Ayham Salah Makes Impact As Dual Threat Quarterback

OAK LAWN, IL — Last season, the Oak Lawn Community High School football team saw a huge influx of basketball players come out for the team. For many of them, it was their first time playing the sport. The result was a boost in athleticism across the board.

One of those hoopers to play football for the first time last season is Ayham Salah. Now in his second year on the football field, he is making a strong impact as a dual-threat quarterback for the Spartans. He’s changed the outcome of games with individual effort, and he is grabbing attention from coaches at the next level.

“Ayham has been a standout at quarterback for us this fall,” OLCHS head coach Ryan Pattison said. “Ayham, a three-sport athlete, has used his athletic abilities at QB. He can make plays with both his arm and his legs. He has even drawn attention from colleges. Look for Ayham to continue his athletic and exciting ways on the football field.”
