I am a leader, I give 150% all the time, and I am strong, fast, smart, and dedicated. I study as much film as my coaches. I’m the first one on the field and the last to leave. Although my primary experience is playing Middle Linebacker, I have also played tight end and OL. I am open to any position my coaches ask me to play.

I did not reach out to coaches early because I had planned on entering the military. Although I love the high-level physical and mental challenges of the military, I believe I can make a better impact in the world by pursuing a career in nursing. My goal is to earn my RN and possibly continue to become a Nurse Practitioner. 

Some quick things about me: I’m a senior at Warsaw High School. I have been playing football since I was 11 years old. I am a strong athlete and student. Health and fitness is a top priority for me. I am a three-sport athlete and workout consistently, on and off-seasons. I take AP and college classes, I typically average around a 90% in all my classes (unweighted), which gives me a cumulative weighted GPA of 4.0. I have never been in trouble, at school or home. Outside of school, I am one of eight children. In August, my family adopted three teenagers. I am proud of being a good role model for my new younger siblings. It has also been one of the biggest challenges I have faced. I am deeply involved in my school, community, and church. I was Warsaw’s Boys State Representative this Spring, have NYS Scholar Athlete pins, countless certificates, awards, letters, etc. I sing in the chorus and have been selected for all-county choir every year. I work very hard every day and feel like I have a lot to offer.
