Joey Gaston may be in high school, but he’s proving he’s quite the catch in the football world. Gaston is the quarterback at Iona Prep in New Rochelle, New York, per GQ. The football player even signed with a sports management team in December 2023. Slice Management announced the news on social media, writing, “Introducing our latest signing, QB Joey Gaston, a dual-threat sensation hailing from Iona Prep H.S., class of 2025. With 2,186 passing yards, 739 rushing yards, and an impressive 70% completion rate, he’s got superstar blood, being the younger brother of Ice Spice.”
Although Gaston is paving his path with football, the fact that he’s Ice Spice’s brother still follows him. He revealed to GQ that opponents will use the fact that he’s related to the “Barbie World” rapper to tease him on the field. He said, “Recently, we played a team and I looked up in the opposing student section…my teammate next to me was like, ‘You see what they wearing?’ I look over there and saw nothing but orange wigs!” They were teasing Gaston with Ice Spice’s iconic orange curls, but in the end, it backfired because his team won.
Gaston doesn’t mind being associated with his famous sister because he’s making his own path. He told GQ, “I don’t mind, but everyone still knows me as Joey Gaston. At school and all of that, I made my own name. They know me as the quarterback.”
