Highlights - SW O...Senior highlights...Personal Statement
I always challenge myself on and off the field. I've played varsity football all four years, starting on both defense and offense in every game my sophomore, junior and senior (so far) years. I have been recognized as a leader both on and off the field. I am a Team Captain this year (senior). I was named All Conference and All Area (region) last year. I've been invited to the 2015 Offense-Defense All American Bowl and the NUC All American Bowl.
I attend Croatan High School in Newport, NC. I am a three sport athlete (Football, Basketball, Track) but football is MY sport. I started playing full contact when I was four years old (Pop Warner Tiny Mites), and fell in love with hitting and competing on the field.
I have wanted to play football at the next level since before I could write my name, and I am a true STUDENT-ATHLETE! I'm seeking an opportunity to play football and get an education. Check out my highlight videos and my academic and achievement stats as well.
