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

A dual threat QB is basically a baller who can torch you through the air and break ankles on the ground. You’ve gotta read the defense fast, drop back for the pass, but always be ready to tuck it and run if the pocket collapses or nobody’s open. It’s all about making plays—sometimes you’re slinging a dime, other times you’re gone before the D even knows what happened. Fast feet! Quick reads!

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

FCA, Spanish club, Honor's society

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

As a quarterback, I’ve grown as a leader by learning to stay calm under pressure, support my teammates, and lead by example. Football has also taught me the importance of teamwork and giving back through community service.

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

Switching high schools was tough—I had to leave behind my friends, teammates, and everything familiar. On top of that, losing my grandfather in a car accident hit me hard. He was one of my biggest supporters. Dealing with both at the same time was emotionally draining, but it taught me how to stay strong, adapt, and keep pushing forward no matter what.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a college where I can compete at a high level, be pushed to get better every day, and grow as both a player and a leader. I want a program that demands excellence and surrounds me with coaches and teammates who bring the same drive and energy.
