Noel Buck Talks About Prom and Graduation
Buck: “I don’t get to do those things often and being able to go to prom and hang out with my friends in a way like that is really fun.”
Noel Buck is so calm on the field that people sometimes forget he’s 18 years old. Recent weeks provided us with a reminder though because the Arlington native attended prom and graduation.
“It was really fun, actually,” Buck said after Saturday’s 3-1 win over Orlando City. “I don’t get to do those things often and being able to go to prom and hang out with my friends in a way like that is really fun.”
On any given weekend, Buck will stare into the stands of Gillette Stadium and see New England Revolution fans wearing jerseys that feature his name. Post-game, he might sign a few autographs before speaking to the media.
Events like prom and graduation give Buck an opportunity to live the life of a typical teenager.
Teammate Ema Boateng joked that Buck’s classmates view him as “superstar Noel Buck.” The midfielder isn’t sure how they view him, but he’s grateful to have time with his friends.
“Honestly, I have no idea what they think,” Buck said. “Sometimes it’s a bit weird showing up to these things because I can tell people are looking, but it’s fine and I really enjoy hanging out with my friends.”
So what song did Buck enjoy while at prom? Although he’s not a “Swiftie,” he did put on a performance for one of Taylor’s most popular songs.
“I did a mean dance to ‘You Belong With Me’ by Taylor Swift. I was on there,” Buck said.
