Upon receiving his individual award from GAA president Jarlath Burns at their team banquet on Sunday night, he conducted an interview with
In it, the 28-year-old tried to sum up their journey across the 2025 inter-county campaign despite admitting to still being "a bit lost for words."
Here, SunSport chronicles his daily life away from the Gaelic football pitch:
FIANCEE AND JOB
It's been a big 12 months for him as he only got engaged to his long-term partner Tara last year while holidaying in Dubai.

However, even when going on a trip abroad somewhere, Kerry football is still at the forefront for the Dr Crokes clubman as he still fit in time to help out a local club by dropping in as a guest trainer.
The Middle Eastern GAA club posted at the time: "Thanks to Kerry Senior Footballer Gavin White @gavwhite97 and his new fiancée Tara Casey @tara_casey97 who visited men's training this morning.
"Gavin put the lads through their paces ahead of MEL R2 fixtures in Bahrain next weekend. Congrats to Gavin and Tara on their engagement in Dubai this week!"

"It's a different angle that you're looking at and different age groups obviously. It's very enjoyable.
"I suppose I was with the senior team there with the Hogan Cup in 2022 and that year I was injured for a good chunk of it, so that allowed me to put a bit more time into the Sem."
CAPTAIN'S TONE
Throughout his MOTM interview it was noticeable how he constantly side-stepped individual kudos in favour of emphasizing what a team achievement this year's success was.
Asked if Sunday was the best game he'd ever had in a Kerry jersey, he instead deflected: "Look, you go out there and try and perform as best you can.
"But there's plenty of lads here that played exceptionally well today.
"Look at Paudie Clifford having 76 possessions across the game, that's absolutely unbelievable.
"But look, it was a team performance and our only objective this morning was to bring Sam Maguire back to the Kingdom.
"So we're absolutely thrilled with that."

North Circular review: ‘You'd have robbed cars flying around... It used to be chaos, but good fun'
There's a beautifully hallucinatory quality to Luke McManus's North Circular ( RTÉ One , 9.35pm), a dreamy black-and-white valentine to Dublin's North Circular Road that comes to the small screen three years after it was received with acclaim on the film festival circuit. It's a documentary with a thesis: that Dublin's grittier postcodes have a down-at-heel glamour particular to themselves which should be cherished at a time when much of the capital's urban landscape is passing into history. Whether or not you agree that the city should be preserved in perpetuity, like a specimen in a bell-jar, there is no denying the poetic punch of this travelogue. It takes a Joycean hike from the Phoenix Park , past the site of the old O'Devaney Gardens public housing scheme. Next it is on to Dalymount Park soccer stadium, Mountjoy Prison , Croke Park and down to the docklands via Sheriff Street (not on the North Circular strictly speaking but very much part of the same spiritual hinterland). McManus was inspired to make the film after strolling around these neighbourhoods during lockdown. Reflecting its perambulatory roots, the documentary has the pottering charm of an intense hike on an overcast day. He begins with the 1861 Wellington Monument in the Phoenix Park. There is an acknowledgment of Dublin's complicated relationship with Britishness. The British army, an unnamed narrator explained, was handsomely provisioned with volunteers from inner Dublin, driven to fight for British Empire by poverty and desperation. READ MORE Rambling up into the north side, we hear an ex-resident of O'Devaney Gardens lament the loss of community and the construction of new apartments. 'You'd have the robbed cars flying around,' she says. 'It used to be chaos sometimes, but good fun.' Then we arrive at Dalymount Park where Bohemian FC fans chant about their bitter rivals, Shamrock Rovers . Amid the grungy greys, there are flashes of darkness. Sitting in shadows in his livingroom, tin whistle-player Seán Ó Tuama recalls witnessing his brother strangle his father. Elsewhere, a former inmate at Mountjoy talks about how he would walk out the front gates and seek the nearest drug dealer, before belatedly cleaning up. North Circular finishes with singer Gemma Dunleavy , who talks about how people from Sheriff Street are looked down upon and regarded as 'spongers'. Her rejoinder is that 'there are spongers in suits. Look at the banks, it's a different type of sponger. They're sponging off the public'. It's gorgeously filmed with a stunning soundtrack, much of it courtesy of the new wave of Irish folk artists centred on The Cobblestone in Smithfield. They include singer John Francis Flynn , who insists that living in gentrified Stoneybatter doesn't make him 'posh'. [ Luke McManus: 'The North Circular Road tells the story of Ireland' Opens in new window ] As Dublin continues to change – as all cities must if they are to thrive – McManus' film functions as an act of bearing witness to a particular moment in its history when the old capital was giving way to something new and different (a sprinkling of tall buildings, a proposed redevelopment of Sheriff Street). It has the grainy quality of a Polaroid in the drizzle – a snapshot of a period that, for better or worse, is slipping away before our eyes but which McManus has ensured will now be preserved. By the credits, I felt I'd paced the length of the North Circular – and returned home weary but wiser, and with a better appreciation of the old bones that glimmer beneath the new Dublin.

Fine all-round display sees Ireland edge to 11-run victory over Pakistan in first T20
Ireland 142 (19.4 ovs) (A Hunter 37, O Prendergast 29, L Paul 28; F Sana 4-26) beat Pakistan 131-9 (20 ovs) (N Pervaiz 29, R Shamim 27; O Prendergast 3-28, J Maguire 2-20) by 11 runs Ireland earned an 11-run victory over Pakistan in the first of their three-match T20 series in Dublin. Opener Amy Hunter started with intent and top-scored for the hosts with 37 before she was bowled by Nashra Sandhu, leaving Ireland on 63 for two after nine overs. Orla Prendergast (29) and Leah Paul (28) came together and pushed Ireland beyond the three-figure mark before the former fell to Rameen Shamim. READ MORE The boundaries started to come at ease for set batter Paul but her wicket on 108 for four started a collapse. Ireland were looking at a score of upwards of 150 but they lost the final six wickets for just 21 runs as they set Pakistan a score of 143 for victory, Fatima Sana the pick of the bowlers with four wickets. In response, Ireland took wickets at regular intervals and had the visitors 54 for five after 12 overs, which gave Pakistan a mountain to climb. Natalia Pervaiz did her best to guide Pakistan to an unlikely victory with her score of 29 but she chipped Prendergast into the hands of Cara Murray which signalled the end of Pakistan's hopes. Prendergast claimed three wickets and Jane Maguire got two to help Ireland to a well-earned win.

Man told he would never cycle again to take on Tour de Munster bike challenge
A Limerick man who was told he would never be able to cycle again is taking on the Tour de Munster bike challenge to raise funds for charity. Conor O'Dea went from cycling competitively to being paralysed from the neck down after an accident seven years ago. But tomorrow, he will begin the 640km bike tour around the counties of Munster. Sport has always been an important part of Mr O'Dea's life. He had been a Gaelic footballer in his youth and took up triathlons in later life. In August 2018, while training for a triathlon event, he was involved in an accident. "I ended up having an impact off the back of a van headfirst, and I was thrown out onto the side of the road. I was whisked away to the local hospital, and I was unconscious for three days," he said. Mr O'Dea had a spinal cord injury and at first had no movement in his body below his neck. While in University Hospital Limerick, some tiny movements returned, and he was transferred to the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Dublin. Speaking on RTÉ's Drivetime, he said he was determined to focus on gradual improvement. "I made a conscious decision that I just was going to think positive and not dwell in any negativity. There's no point in looking backwards, there's nothing to be gained from it, and there's no point in looking too far forward either, because the further you look into the future, the more negativity." Over time, more movement returned to both his upper and lower body. "It's all about little incrementals, and I'm happy with the incrementals. That's all that matters. That's how I survive." A triathlon friend contacted him to suggest he could get a custom-built trike adapted to his needs. With the help of a local bike shop and charities, the idea became reality. "The first time I got the trike, and I went out my front gate there and turned down, I could feel the wind in my face. And that was a real sign of wow, ok, you're back on the bike." "I never thought I'd get this feeling again. I'm not an emotional fish, but that was close to it. It was incredible." Mr O'Dea said it has been easy to stay positive with the "amazing" support of his family, friends and carers. Tomorrow, he will begin the 640km Tour de Munster bike challenge. The four-day event raises funds for Down Syndrome Ireland. Joining him on the tour this year will be his care team, headed by Paula O'Keeffe, Bluebird Care Limerick, who first met Mr O'Dea at the National Rehabilitation Hospital. "Conor is definitely unique. Conor was very positive, which I suppose is the most prominent thing," she said. "When I did meet him first, he did say I am going to walk again. So I said ok, let's try that. And it's just been loads of different milestones Conor has met and surpassed. So it's great to be part of that." Ms O'Keeffe had not cycled a bike in 15 years, but after meeting Mr O'Dea, she signed up for her first triathlon. "He said if you do the triathlon, I'll go and see you coming in on the finish line. Now I had to learn to swim before we did it, so that was a bit of a challenge. But I said, look, if Conor can do what he can do, I can definitely manage to learn." While dealing with his spinal injury, Mr O'Dea has inspired people to take up challenges and has raised significant funds for charities. But he wears those achievements lightly. "I do get told that by people that I am inspirational, but I don't see it as inspirational," he said. "As far as I'm concerned, I haven't changed. I'm the same Conor before the accident as after the accident. I'm still training, I'm just doing different training." "I won't say it's no big deal, but that's the way I look at it. Now, if people want to take inspiration from that, perfect. But I don't look at myself in that light at all."
