DALLAS - illiNews -- Kordell Beckham, twenty-years old,  possesses the good looks, style and athleticism of his older brother, current Super Bowl Champion Odell Beckham, Jr., but he is fast and furiously making a name for himself in the fashion industry.

The aspiring model is currently an Associate of Arts major in his Sophomore year at Tyler Junior College and plans to continue his education at Sam Houston State University upon graduation. Kordell boasts an Urban yet Iconic sense of style and also loves a well fitted suit when it's called for by the occasion. Having worked with a few local clothing brands and photographers in his hometown of Houston, Texas, his major campaign wish list includes Calvin Klein, GAP, Old Navy, Nike, Adidas, Valabases, Holister, H&M and Zara for Men. Kordell makes his runway debut at the Arboretum in Dallas during the 2^nd Annual Black Heritage Celebration. "Kordell has a great look and a real passion for style and fashion," says fashion show producer Willie Johnson, Owner of J3 Productions. "We are excited to welcome Kordell to the runway and look forward to working with him on many, many shows to come."

In addition to heating up the runway, Kordell has a heart for giving back. He is committed to whole-heartedly engaging in his community as a volunteer and serving as a positive influence for children. He is ready to lift the veil and dismiss any preconceived notions of who Kordell Beckham really is. "People assume that I am going to be a snob or use my brother's name and fame to get what I want in life. That's not me now and never will be," says Kordell. "But once people meet me, and we talk, it doesn't take long for any negative presumptions to fade away. I'm my own person and have my own identity that far exceeds being OBJ's brother."

Kordell Beckham is ready to set the world on fire and blaze his own path, and how fortunate we are to be here at this time to see it!
