Loop through players and check if their name matches the text.

local players = game:GetService("Players");

local function findPlayer(s)
    for _, player in ipairs(players:GetPlayers()) do
        if (player.Name == s) then
            return player;
        end
    end

    return nil;
end

findPlayer("Player1");
