Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I'm a pro-style quarterback with developing running ability. I have a strong arm with ability to throw up to 70-75 yards. I am accurate, and know how to fit it into windows. I have speed and movement ability to be a pro-style QB that can be a dual-threat. I'm currently training to make that a reality.

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

I'm focused and determined. I am laid back and have the ability to stay calm and focused in stressful situations. I think Kobe said it best, you will have good days and bad days, but you still have to get up and put in the work.

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

I am a member of OTB Elites under great coach Jason Allen. 2024 1st Team All-Region, All-State Nominee. 2025 NZGN MVP. I was a 2024 FBU Top Gun winner, an 2024 Army National Combine winner, and a 2023 7 2024 Long Ball Winner & 2 time Elev8te Elite 8 finalist.

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

I've had the opportunity to do community service with the humane society and by some gift for kids in need in our community back in Estrella. I've volunteered to help at Elev8te's youth camp and High School youth camps. It is important to give back and take part in community.

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

My mother had cancer when I was young, and as a family we've struggled to get to where we are. The current economy makes it difficult. We've had to move a lot as my father has had to change jobs multiple times with the difficult economy.

What type of college are you looking for?

I prefer warmer climates in the South, but the main goal is just to play D1 football with a full ride scholarship and to make it and be a great player in the NFL.
