With accolades that span from Hollywood sets to the White House lawn, River Mason Eromosele is no stranger to the spotlight and neither is his famous family. The rising star, now entering high school, comes from a legacy of icons: hip-hop legend Rah Digga is his aunt, celebrity stylist and TV personality Pilar Scratch is his mother, iHeartRadio host Madison Jaye is his aunt, and rapper Soo Vegaz is his cousin. Recently featured in BuzzFeed for “tackling football” with his usual passion and discipline, River’s pivot to the gridiron has scouts buzzing about what could be the NFL’s next big name by the class of 2029.
River’s resume already reads like a seasoned professional. He’s been spotlighted in Forbes, NY Weekly, Afro Tech, and NJ.com, recognized not only for his intelligence and charisma but for his advocacy, philanthropy, and media work. He was even honored at the White House by President Joe Biden and has been invited there several times; a rare feat for someone his age. But if you ask him what truly drives him, he’ll tell you it’s family.
“My biggest inspiration is definitely my mom,” River shares. That mom is Pilar Scratch, a renowned celebrity stylist, TV personality, and entrepreneur who’s built a powerhouse brand of her own while raising a multi-hyphenate star. A regular in entertainment headlines, Pilar is no stranger to balancing celebrity life and motherhood, often seen by River’s side at red carpets and charity events.
River also draws strength and motivation from his uncles — Osaro and Osayi — who have pushed him toward football since he was little. His uncle Osaro played Division I football and has always been a guiding force for River. “I’ve always looked up to him,” River says. “I just want to make him proud.”
Now standing on the threshold of high school football, River’s athletic ability is turning heads the way his charm did when he first stepped in front of a camera. His natural speed, field vision, and game IQ are making him one of the most anticipated prospects in the nation for the Class of 2029. Coaches are already whispering his name. Talent scouts are watching. And the media? They can’t get enough of him.
Balancing the demands of stardom with the discipline of an athlete isn’t new for River; it’s his way of life. Whether he’s appearing in national commercials, walking runways, speaking at schools, or training for the next big game, he brings the same relentless work ethic and positivity to everything he does.
The question isn’t if River Mason Eromosele will make it to the NFL. The question is how fast he’ll get there and how much history he’ll make along the way.
