Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I would say aggressive, fast, and physical. If I am being beaten by my lineman (driven back or blocked on a pass rush), I don’t quit on the play, but instead I chase down the ball carrier to the best of my ability and ensure that my angles are correct to make the proper tackle

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

My personality I would say is playful, thoughtful individual. I’m introverted and would prefer spending time doing something that would better myself like going to the gym rather than partying. Lastly, I’d say that I keep calm in serious situations and that I look for many solutions when encountering a problem.

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

National Technical Honor Society Student Athlete Scholars Skills USA Straight A’s All year (2019-2024) Highest Gpa (23-24 school year)

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

Over the course of my football career, I’d say i’ve developed leadership qualities to help lead the other linemen, and show they what they could improve on, and be a figure seeing as how im thé strongest lineman weight-for-weight. Teamwork has always been a staple part of my play as well. Making sure the other Dlinemen know what they’re doing helps everyone in the long run

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

Not necessarily . My height is public enemy #1 but I don’t think it’s really stopped me from performing all too much. Time is a challenge on my hands because I want to study, workout, and relax during the day but I have many different responsibilities I need to attend to that limits my time.
