Player Bio
How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?
I am a running back who can run the ball well and be a threat in the pass game when in the slot or out of the backfield. I am very shifty and explosive and have the ability to make defenders miss.
Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?
I believe that I am the best player on the field whenever I step out on the field to compete. I also believe that I have the ability to score a touchdown on every play and put my team in the best position to win.
Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?
I am involved in key club, which is a club where you volunteer around the community by doing service projects and helping other people out around my home town. I am also involved in buddy baseball which is an organization that involves playing baseball and teaching special needs kids how to play. I was recently inducted into the NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY.
What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?
As I have gone through high school I feel that my leadership has taken a big step forward and I have tried my best to put my teammates before me and lift them up before worrying about myself. This has been a big focus of mine this year as I become a upperclassman.
Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.
As a sophomore, I was pulled up to varsity 12 hours before the first game and put in against multiple SEC commits and was brought into a brand new playbook that I needed to learn. I was pulled up because our all-state running back was hurt and when he came back it was tough because I did not see the field as much as I would have liked. It was hard to wait my turn and keep believing in myself.
What type of college are you looking for?
A college where I am valued for who I am as a player and a person. I also want a college where winning is a standard and is the ultimate goal. I want to be put in the best position to became a better football player, student, and a better man.
