Player Bio
How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?
I am a big, strong, fast receiver. I run my routes hard and precise. My hands are a gift, if it’s in the air it’s mine. I create separation and excel in double teams. I am great at blocking and am a team player. Student of film. This season I broke the school record for receiving TDs (16) I am 2nd all time in receiving yards (740) as a Freshman.
Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?
I am very calm and collected off the field, on the field I flip a switch. I think I am very smart and genuine. I always want to help where I can and bring my brothers and peers up. I am a home body and love to be with my family. I always want to learn and perfect my craft as a football player and a man.
Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?
I play club 7s in offseason travel the country to play the best. I volunteer my time on holidays at the shelters with my dad, I try to help my community and give hope where I can.
What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?
I’ve been the captain of my tackle and 7s teams since youth. I try and understand others situations and teach what I know and learn from them as well. I feel anybody and any situation is a learning experience. Football and life isn’t a 1 man show, team unity and support is what creates success and I’m hungry for it all. I volunteer on holidays with my dad and brother at homeless shelters
Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.
My mom hasn’t been involved in my life since I was a baby, she’s an addict and lives on the streets. My dad raises me and I’m brothers by himself so that’s a challenge I struggle with a lot but I know God has me and that situation is meant for me to overcome and grow
What type of college are you looking for?
My dream is D1. Somewhere I can learn and sharpen my skills. I want to play against the best and learn from the best. I have been working towards that goal since I was 5.
