The Military Bowl Foundation and DC Touchdown Club are partnering with WTOP during the 2020-2021 high school football season to honor a Player of the Week. Read about this week’s Player of the Week below.
The DeMatha Catholic football team has a deep and talented roster, affording Coach Bill McGregor the luxury of using players exclusively on one side of the ball. Senior Kevin Winston Jr., however, is just too talented to play solely on offense or defense.
So Winston, who has accepted a scholarship offer to play football at Penn State, starts at wide receiver and at safety for DeMatha. He also plays on special teams. And in this past weekend’s 30-6 victory over Gonzaga, Winston showed once again that he excels in all three phases of the game.
Winston caught four passes for 101 yards, including a 45-yard touchdown, and he made 11 tackles on defense.

He also delivered the biggest plays in the game’s key sequence, after Gonzaga blocked a punt for a touchdown, cutting DeMatha’s lead to 10-6 in the third quarter. Winston came off the edge to block the point-after kick. He then returned the ensuing kickoff 78 yards, setting up a touchdown and firmly swinging the momentum back to the Stags as they improved to 5-1 and stayed on track for a showdown against St. John’s on Oct. 22.
For his efforts, Winston was named the Military Bowl DC Touchdown Club High School Football Player of the Week. The Player of the Week is honored throughout the season each Wednesday on WTOP.
“He’s so valuable for us and done so much for us, we can’t take him off the field,” McGregor said. “He literally took the game over and changed the whole outcome of the ballgame.”
