Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I’m a physical, fast-paced player who reads the field well and never takes a play off. On defense, I step up in the run game and make big hits, but I also take pride in coverage and breaking up passes. On offense, I’m explosive out of the backfield or slot and fight for every yard after the catch. No matter where I line up, I’m focused, aggressive, and always ready to make a play.

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

I show up early, stay late, and put in work whether people are watching or not. I take pride in outworking everyone around me and staying locked in on my goals. For me, effort and consistency are non-negotiable.

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

I’m involved in DECA and SOCA, and I was named Student of the Term, which meant a lot because it recognized how I carry myself in and out of the classroom. I take pride in being consistent and dependable, no matter what I’m part of. Being involved in different parts of school has helped me grow and stay connected to my community.

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

Being involved in DECA and SOCA has helped me grow as a leader and teammate. I’ve learned how to communicate, step up when needed, and work with others toward a common goal. These experiences taught me the value of showing up for my community and leading by example. Whether in the classroom, on the field, or around school, I try to be someone people can count on.

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

During my sophomore year, my uncle tragically passed away after a long struggle with substance abuse. It was a really difficult time for my family, and the year leading up to it was especially hard. Sports helped keep me grounded—they gave me structure, focus, and a way to cope. That experience taught me a lot about staying strong and showing up even when life feels overwhelming.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a medium-sized college in a rural or suburban area with strong school spirit and a tight-knit community. I’d like to be somewhere that values athletics and where students really show up for each other. I’m hoping to play football and run track at the next level, so I’m looking for a place where I can compete in both and be part of a supportive team culture.
