Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I have great field vision being able to read the defense, spot gaps, and make split-second decisions on where to run. Also, possessing excellent speed and agility, accelerate quickly and evade defenders with sharp cuts and elusive moves. Balance, strength, and ball security are important to my skill set.

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

My strength lies in my unyielding perseverance and my "never give up" mentality. No challenge is too great, no obstacle too daunting—when I set my sights on a goal, I am determined to see it through to the end. Finishing strong isn't just a personal standard for me, it's a reflection of my commitment to lead by example.

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

I am actively involved in several clubs that have played a significant role in my personal and academic growth. In Beta Club, I embrace the values of academic excellence and community service. In 4-H, I’ve been able to develop important skills in leadership, agriculture, and teamwork through hands-on projects. My passion for the arts shines through my involvement in talented theatre.

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

Integrity is my cornerstone, setting me apart from the rest of the competition. I know that true success is built on honesty, accountability, and doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. I lead with character, grounded in faith, which gives me the wisdom and strength to face any adversity.

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

Throughout my athletic journey, I’ve faced numerous challenges—being underestimated, overlooked, and navigating through personal hardships. Despite these obstacles, I never allowed them to affect my game. In fact, they only fueled my determination to push harder and prove myself. One of the toughest tests came at the start of a season when I lost a close family member.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am drawn to colleges with a proven track record of developing athletes for the next level, particularly those with a culture of discipline, hard work, and team-oriented success. A football program with a history of sending players to professional leagues would be ideal, as it would provide me with the training, resources, and exposure I need to take my game to the next level.
