Coach, I am a junior attending Martin Luther King, Jr. Academic Magnet High School in Nashville TN. I am the Starting quarterback for Pearl Cohn High School Varsity football team. I'm fully committed to making every effort during practices, games, and most importantly school. I'm an excellent quarterback with a strong accurate arm that isn't afraid to run. I bring intelligence, leadership, accountability and athleticism to my team. I look forward to learning and improving as a student-athlete at the next level. Please review my profile, game film, and training film. I am looking forward to meeting and speaking with you. If you have any questions please let me know.
