Personal Statement
Ever since I was 7 years old and playing select league football I have had a dream to play in college. December 2012 that dream very nearly came to a end. I was robbed at gun point then shot 5 times and was seriously wounded. I have been fighting to keep my dream alive and will continue to fight for my dreams. I realize that a random act of violence can alter a life forever. I have made a full recovery and have dedicated myself to living a better life. I still dream of playing college or even pro football. I believe in myself and the spirt/drive that this event has given me. I understand what Team and being a real teammate truly means, I understand what family truly means, I understand what leading by example and leadership truly mean now. My eyes are open and my mind and body are stronger than ever.
I did not sign with any school on February 6th, because of my injuries. I have gotten cleared to work out and return to training. My plan is to go to College in the Spring of 2014 that way giving me a full year to rehab. Videos of my workouts will be uploaded to this site.
