2016 Varsity High...2015 JV HighlightsJunior HighlightsSenior HighlightsPersonal Statement
Respect. Commitment. Toughness. These are a few of the values that define who I am both as a player and a student. I believe that having a strong work ethic is one of the most important attributes to have as a student-athlete. My family's military background is a part of what has motivated me to apply this on the football field, in the weight room, in the classroom, and in life. Academically, I have maintained a high standard and I plan on continuing to work hard in school for the duration of my academic career. I was an active leader within Norfolk Academy's Center for Civic and Global Leadership, specifically the International Relations Fellows program and I was elected Treasurer of the Military Appreciation Club and Vice President of the International Relations Club in the spring of my sophomore year. I have also been involved with many different community service opportunities at my church, school, and abroad. These include volunteering at the San Antonio Food Bank with Haven 4 Hope and traveling to Nicaragua and El Salvador with Global Health Outreach. My goal is to have the opportunity to play football at a highly competitive academic and athletic university. My unwavering passion for the game of football and my optimistic leadership through hard work and dedication are what set me apart from other student-athletes. I am excited for the opportunity to compete and to go on my journey through the recruiting process.
