Player Bio

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I play fast, physical, and smart. I’m always looking to make big plays and help my team win. I give 100% every snap and never back down from a challenge.

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

I stay focused, work hard, and stay humble. I’m always trying to get better and outwork the competition. I’m a team player, a leader, and I don’t let pressure shake me.

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

As team captain for my freshman season, I showed up early, gave full effort, and pushed my teammates to do the same. I stay positive, keep the energy up, and make sure everyone feels included. I take pride in being someone my team can count on—on and off the field. Helping with youth football camps has given me a chance to share my love for the game and be a role model for younger players.

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

I didn’t start playing football until seventh grade, and then we moved and I had to switch schools in eighth grade. It wasn’t easy starting at a new school and adjusting to a new team, but it pushed me to work harder. Now, I really appreciate the team I have and stay focused on our goal of winning together.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am working to play football at a school with a strong program, great coaching, and a winning culture. I want to compete at the highest level, keep developing my game, and be part of a team that feels like family on and off the field.
