Celebrity Logan Paul appears to be spending at least some of his Thanksgiving in Connecticut. Paul, among the most famous social media influencers worldwide who has also made a name for himself boxing and by wrestling in WWE, spent his Thursday morning at a high school football game in Milford.
Paul drew plenty of attention on the sidelines Thursday as Jonathan Law High topped Foran High in the Battle of Milford rivalry game 60-29.
Both teams are having strong years, each finishing the regular season 9-1. Both teams are now headed to the playoffs, making it among the most important games in the 49-year anniversary of the game.
While the game was a big one in Milford, Connecticut, it doesn't exactly explain why somebody with the celebrity status of Paul, who has a home in Los Angeles, would show up. Paul has over 24.5 million Instagram followers, 16.5 million on TikTok and he has another 23.6 million subscribers on YouTube. His podcast is also widely popular and likely holds the key as to what Paul was doing in Milford for Thanksgiving.
The podcast is co-hosted with Mike Majlak, who is a Milford native and a graduate of Foran. Majlak joined Paul for the appearance at the game, where they were seen interacting with students, taking photos and videos.
Law Principal Bryan Darcy was among those posting on social media about the appearance.

The 27-year-old internet sensation has also made various acting appearances, fought Floyd Mayweather in a pay-per-view exhibition boxing match, recently wrestled WWE champion Roman Reigns at an event in Saudi Arabia and has various business ventures. Paul was also a high school football player and wrestler. His brother, Jake, is also a social media celebrity and a professional boxer.
As for the Connecticut football teams, Law will take on RHAM this week at home in the quarterfinals of the Class M CIAC playoffs. Foran will host the Valley Regional/Old Lyme co-op in the Class SS quarterfinals on Tuesday.
