Hi there!

My name is DeAnna Hightower Riley. This is my 10th year playing tackle football and my 2nd season proudly representing the Chicago Winds Women's Tackle Football Team

✨ As a dedicated Offensive and Defensive Linewoman, I bring personality, discipline, and leadership to the field. Over the years, I’ve built a deep understanding of the game, especially in the trenches where every play begins and battles are won.

🏈 Football isn’t just a sport for me—it’s my passion and my daily motivation. I love the grind, the teamwork, and the intensity that comes with playing. My commitment to improving both physically and mentally is what drives me to push harder each season.

✨Off the field, I serve and protect the community by building a good rapport and balance within the day-to-day activities. I take pride in giving back, whether in the community or on the field. I’m always trying to positively lead for others to follow and willing to help anyone learn the game of football - flag or tackle - because I believe in creating opportunities and lifting others up.

💙🩵 I’m honored to play for the Chicago Winds and excited to continue growing, competing, and making an impact on and off the field.

💥 💥 I am currently seeking sponsorships to support my journey and help elevate the mission I carry as an athlete.

🙌 I’m not just asking for backing — I’m offering partnership. With your support, I can continue to play the sport I love and push the game forward, showing that football is for everyone — regardless of gender, and representing those who stand behind me with pride.

🙂 I’m excited for you to be a part of this journey and to share in the victories, growth, and community impact along the way.

So, if you believe in grit, growth, inclusion and the power of sport as much as I do — let’s connect by helping me reach my goal. My goal amount will cover team fees, equipment, and travel. Thank you for sponsoring me and for assisting me in my football season.
