Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I'm a hardworking, coachable athlete who plays with heart, discipline, and purpose. As a linebacker, safety, and running back, I bring versatility and toughness to both sides of the ball. Defensively, I'm aggressive and instinctive-reading plays quickly, making solid tackles, and contributing in both run support and pass coverage. Offensively, I run with power, vision, and determination.

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

Beyond stats, I pride myself on being a team player. I lead by example, bring positive energy to the field, and help keep my teammates focused and motivated-whether we're up big or facing adversity. I work hard, stay humble, and always keep God first in everything I do. My mindset is simple: outwork everyone, play for the guy next to me, and give 110% every snap.

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

I’m involved in my church as wall as a member of the FCA. I'm part of both the Student-Athlete Scholars and the National Honor Society, reflecting my dedication to academics and leadership. l've placed first in Math Field Day multiple years and earned recognition at the regional level and received awards in ELA and Science. I strive to lead with faith, integrity, and excellence in everything | do.

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

I've developed strong leadership and teamwork skills through mentoring, community service, and always stepping up when others need help. I work to be a positive influence on my team and in school, and I'm building the character and commitment needed for a future in the medical field.

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

The worse challenge I faced was when my nose was broken and I had to miss a few games after surgery. Even though I couldn't be on the field, I never missed a practice or game— stayed on the sidelines, supporting and encouraging my teammates every step of the way. That experience taught me the value of perseverance, leadership, and being there for your team no matter what.

What type of college are you looking for?

I'm looking for a college that not only supports my passion for football but also provides a strong foundation for my future career in the medical field. I want to be part of a program that values student-athletes, encourages academic excellence, and helps me grow both on and off the field.
