Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I’m a elusive back with a low center of gravity, strong vision, and explosive burst through the hole. I run with power, make quick cuts, and can catch out of the backfield. I take pride in being dependable in all phases, running, receiving, and pass protection.

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

I’m a dedicated, coachable player who leads by example. I am dependable on and off the field, and I’m always willing to put in the extra work to improve and help the team succeed.

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

Outside of football, I’ve consistently made the Honor Roll and have also earned Distinguished Honor Roll.

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

Through football, I’ve developed leadership, teamwork, and discipline. I’ve learned how to communicate with my teammates, lead by example, and stay focused. I also enjoy helping others through mentoring younger players

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

One of the biggest challenges I’ve faced was having to sit behind multiple players early on in my high school career. It was tough not getting the playing time I wanted, but I stayed focused, kept working, and used that time to learn, grow, and stay ready.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a college that will give me the opportunity to compete, grow as a player, and earn my degree. I want to be part of a program that values both academics and athletics, and where I can enjoy a strong, supportive environment on and off the field.
