About Forest

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I say I play elusive quick able to get yards after the catch or in the rushing game every time im not a player who goes down easy willing to put my body on the line for my team to win

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

I’m willing to work hard put forth the effort more than anyone im willing to put my body on the line for my team and teammates I don’t let the little things get in my way.

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

I am doing 7 on 7 for my high school and during the offseason I do 7 on 7 for other teams

What type of college are you looking for?

It doesn’t matter to me as long as I can get the chance to play collegiate football and prove what I can do on the field and how effective I can be
