Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I'm very aggressive and physical with my play. I'm always looking to make big hits so my opponents know it's going to be a long night. I possess good quickness that allows me to beat offensive linemen to the point of attack or around the edge when rushin the quarterback. I study the game, so I'm very prepared for all game situations, allowing me to play fast and be the first player to the ball.

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

I'm a pretty laid-back guy off the field, who enjoys listening to music. On the field, I'm all about getting my job done by any means necessary. I try to lead my teammates by being an example for them to follow. I love to win games, but I hate to lose even more. I strive to be the best player on the field at all times.

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

Jack and Jill of America Omega Lamplighters

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

I'm a team leader in the locker room, and I speak on behalf of my teammates. I participate in at least one community service project every other month with my family to appreciate how blessed I am. To truly understand, we should be willing to help those in need.

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

I'm a younger 12th grader. Just turned 17 a month and a half ago. Growing up, I was always one of the shorter/smaller players on my teams in middle school. So, I had to work extra hard to show coaches that my work ethic and drive made me better than the guys who had the size advantage. Now that I've hit my growth spurt, my drive and work ethic make me a great player.

What type of college are you looking for?

I'm open to attending colleges in various types of communities—urban, suburban, or rural. I want to be at a place where I can grow and develop both as a player and a student.
