Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I am a dual threat QB with a high football IQ. I am typically pass first with great pocket awareness and footwork. When the pocket breaks down, I have great vision in finding openings for running with power and elusiveness.

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

I am a winner. I strive to do everything in my power to help my team win. I am team first without regard to my personal achievement. I could have a great statistical game, however if we lose, I take it personal and feel I didn't do enough to help my team win. I also possess great leadership skills. My brothers on the field respect and follow me, so I always have to have a positive attitude.

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

I have been elected as my class student council president every year since I was in 6th grade. I feel I have excellent leadership skills and that is evident as my peers elect me to lead every year.

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

My junior season was very challenging as we had a very young varsity team comprised of mostly sophomores. To add to that challenge, we also had a first time high school head coach. He is a great coach and we have much to learn. We lost every game, but grew and improved as a team every week.
