How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

dynamic explosive, quick bursts making me a perfect all purpose back with some extra speed and mentality to not go down

I work hard everyday even tho I may not be the biggest and maximize my work load. I always make sure to keep my feet going and outwork the other person making me harder to tackle

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

I am involved in 7on7 and running back training at Apex Air football academy in Des Moines Iowa

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

I have learned all about effort, persistence, mindset energy, and hard work making me a great leader on the field

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

although I am undersized for my position I still try as hard as I can to get bigger and remember that I am a faster/quicker athlete than others

What type of college are you looking for?

located in a warm weather state and being able to play early and wanted by the program and possibly getting me to the next level
