Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I'm coachable, a team player, and willing to work when others won't. I play hard, fast, and my motor is endless... I stop when the whistle blows, but not until then!

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

Character and integrity will always take you farther than talent. I strive for excellence in every area of my life, on and off of the field. A true leader leads from the front, listens with great intent, and executes with precision. That‘s the type of man, and player that I am. I’m a team player, honest, hardworking, coachable, and ready to give 100% in everything that I do. I am prepared to work

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

My parents pastor a local church, & I play the keyboard, electric guitar, and acoustic guitar in our band. I've grown up feeding to the homeless community faithfully in our outreaches, ministering to people on the streets, visiting veteran's at the OKC VA Hospital, attending FCA at Blanchard High School. I have also received leadership awards and been invited to leadership summits with my class.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

My parents have told me since I was a young kid, it's not about you. They have raised me to serve and lead others, and to prefer your brother (or others) more than yourself. A good leader leads from the front in everything that they do. My parents have taught me how to work hard, love big, give big, and celebrate other people around me.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

We have faced a lot of hardships as a family health wise. Not with me, but almost everyone else in my family. My dad actually coded 2 years ago after a routine procedure on his heart. I thought we were going to lose him, but I know that you shouldn't take the people that you love the most for granted.

What type of college are you looking for?

I would be honored to play college football at the highest level, but am grateful for every opportunity that the Lord gives me to do what HE has blessed me to do.
