""He was extremely hardworking, beyond intelligent. He also had a really warm heart, he accepted everyone for who they were and was always there for the people in need," said friend and classmate Urvi Khare. "What my peers saw in him that is so special is that he knew what life was really about, what really was important. He never fell into peer pressure as he stayed true to himself, his religion, his culture, his morals. He was truly one of a kind."
Not only was Rahman "one of a kind," but he also wore the number 1 on his Waubonsee varsity football jersey. When practice opens this week, coach Paul Murphy said he expected Rahman to compete for a starting role at cornerback. Instead, Murphy is now making plans to present Rahman's parents his jersey at senior night later this season.
"There is not a guy on this field that worked harder, trained more or wanted it more this off-season than Adnaan. He is an inspiration to everyone here," Murphy said. "As long as I'm coach here, no one will wear that number 1 jersey unless they possess the character, heart and dedication that Adnaan brought out here every day."
