Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

My gameplay style as a cornerback is all about being smart, fast, physical, and fearless. I press aggressively at the line to disrupt routes, stay fluid with my hips and footwork to mirror receivers, and use my speed to stick with them deep. I read the quarterback, anticipate plays, and attack the ball when it’s in the air. I’m not afraid to come down and hit in the run game.

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

As a DB, my mentality is all about being confident, fearless, and relentless. I play with a short memory—whether I make a big play or get beat, I move on and lock in for the next snap. I believe I’m the best on the field every time, and I don’t back down from anyone. I stay focused, aggressive, and attack every route like it’s mine. If I get knocked down, I bounce back even harder.

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

Quick-Thinking, Problem-solving, Responsibility, Attention to detail

What type of college are you looking for?

I for colleges that match their skill level (D1, D2, D3, NAIA, or JUCO), offer strong academic programs, have coaches who show real interest, provide a good campus environment, and give realistic opportunities to play and develop both on and off the field.
