Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

play mean. Simple as that. At right tackle, my job is to protect the quarterback and bury defenders in the run gameand I take that personal. Every rep, I’m trying to impose my will. You line up across from me, you’re in for a long night.

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

I’ve got a relentless, no nonsense mentality. On the field, I flip a switch I’m aggressive, physical, and take pride in dominating my matchup every single play. I’m not just trying to block you, I’m trying to finish you. Off the field, I’m focused, disciplined, and all about the grind. I lead with intensity, and I bring that edge into everything I do.

Mentally, it was tough watching from the sidelines, but it taught me patience, discipline, and how to come back stronger. I locked in on rehab, film study, and stayed close to the team.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a college that feels like home. a place with a strong football culture, elite player development, and coaches who push me to be my best on and off the field. I want to compete at the highest level, win championships, and prepare for the NFL. But I also care about academics and life after football, so I’m looking for a school that invests in its players as people, not just athletes.
