Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Athletically, I constantly challenge myself to improve. I train year-round, work with private trainers, and seek out elite programs to refine my skills and raise my level of play. What sets me apart is my football instinct. While others may match my size and speed, my ability to read plays and react with precision creates real impact on the field.

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

Football is my passion, and I’m driven by the goal of competing at the Division I level as a linebacker. I thrive on the intensity of the game and the opportunity to contribute to a program’s success through relentless effort, discipline, and leadership. I bring a combination of hard work, tenacity, teamwork, and adaptability to everything I do—on and off the field.

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

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

I’m grounded by my faith, family, and the teammates I consider brothers. I surround myself with people who reflect strong moral character, and I believe respect, humility, and love for the game are the foundation of great leadership. I am actively involved in my community through service projects helping seniors with residential clean up. I coach flag youth football.

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

My freshman year, while punting, I received a bad hit and my knee hyper extended causing a grade 1 tear. I was the only freshman playing JV and dressing for varsity. I was out for the remainder of the season. I had to work through PT to come back strong and show I was ready to start for my sophomore year. I was the only varsity sophomore starter!
