Who We Are

Ryan Stoutt has been a part of The Keeping Dreams Alive Foundation since he was 14 years of age. With his brother Glenn Stoutt IV, Ryan was one of the first Student Athletes to go through the KDA Program. As a product of Broward County Schools and attending Coral Springs Charter School (CSCS), Ryan was introduced to Patrick Lowe through one of the first “KDA Sports Training/ Academic Awareness Camps at Flanagan High School. Ryan and his former High School football teammates not only competed in the Sports Training Camp, but were introduced to the importance of education in the athletic world. Ryan’s Junior Varsity Head Coach, Glenn Stoutt (father), realized the importance of the educational aspect and the ultimate vision of KDA, Change one Life, Change a Generation, therefore implementing the S.M.A.R.T. Programs into (CSCS).

Ryan played Quarterback (QB) throughout his football career and coming into High School, Ryan’s expectations were to play at a Division 1 (D1) University / College. After competing in high level D1 football camps throughout the summer before his freshman year of High School, Ryan’s dreams soon became reality of becoming a D1 Student Athlete.

Following his junior season, Ryan and his family moved to Knoxville, Tennessee. There Ryan attended Alcoa High School with hopes that they would provide the opportunity to show off his talents in order to get exposure to receive a College Football Scholarship. Though Ryan was academically stable due to the KDA Mentoring Programs, KDA took action in developing a system to help keep Ryan’s dreams alive of playing college football. After developing the ‘Playing the Recruiting Game’ aspect of KDA, which is now know as National Collegiate Recruiting Association (NCRA), Ryan soon began a journey that would shape his and thousands of Student Athletes recruiting process forever.

Ryan graduated from Alcoa High School with a 3.0 GPA with 24 full Scholarships to Colleges and Universities from all over the nation. He was introduced to KDA with a 1.2 GPA and only a dream of becoming a Student Athlete on the collegiate level. Ryan signed with Tabor College upon graduating from High School and was soon on a plane to Hillsboro, Kansas. Ryan attended Tabor College for two football seasons and was then offered another full scholarship to Point University (previously Atlanta Christian College). Ryan only attended Point University for one football season.

As a product of KDA, Ryan understands what it takes to ‘Play the Game’ on and off the field and after realizing that he is not the only Student Athlete that will go through the same trials he encountered, Ryan came home to Broward County to be intimately involved with KDA Foundation and to help fulfill the dreams of High School Student Athletes all around the world. Ryan understands that serving is the key to success in life. “The more you give away, the more you will receive.”

Ryan now is the Director of Broadcasting for KDA Foundation with a mission to show as many kids that are willing how to play this game. Ryan says, “Providing internships for the student athletes not only gives me an opportunity to personally mentor the students, but it gives them an opportunity to experience what it is like to have a real job.” “Not only does it build up their High School resume, but it provides them with real life experience and an education outside the classroom.” Ryan and the KDA team have developed the newest Network ‘For the High School Student, By the High School Student’; The High School Production Network (HSPN). “I have new dreams now and with the support of the Keeping Dreams Alive Foundation I know it always provides better opportunities for ‘Our Kids’ and our community,” Ryan said. “KDA is not just a Foundation, it’s a lifestyle!”
