#HearMeNow

Known as “June” or “Junebug” to fans and family, Shawn Solomon Jr. is a story of perseverance, faith, and leadership. As a running back for Duquesne University, Shawn brings power, patience, and passion to every down—reminding young athletes that adversity is only fuel for greatness.

Born with hearing loss, Shawn has turned his journey into a platform of inspiration through his brand, “,” which encourages children and adults with disabilities to embrace their differences and lead with confidence.

A true scholar-athlete, Shawn earned his spot at Duquesne on academic merit, saving scholarship resources for teammates. His NIL vision extends beyond football—uniting health, education, and empowerment through partnerships with local Pittsburgh brands like Live Fresh Juicery and organizations serving the deaf and hard-of-hearing community.
