It worked out well for the now-junior quarterback for Gadsden City football as he's committed to Auburn. For a while, though, it seemed catching passes for Sam was just the kind of younger sibling duty that Emily got stuck doing. Then the siblings moved to Gadsden City and Emily had a chance to take all that knowledge and training and use it on the same football field Sam started starred on. She joined the Titans' flag football program ahead of the 2025 season. "I was really excited to the join the team, I though it was so much fun and it looks fun too," Emily Sollie said.
