I am a vocal leader and key factor to my team’s success. Before I became a starter on our football team, Jones Senior High School football program won a total of 1 game out of 2 seasons. However when I became the starting quarterback my sophomore year I lead my team to 2 state playoff appearances and 2 Costal Plain Conference championship appearances. I lead the team in passing yard, rushing yards, passing touchdowns, rushing touchdowns, defensive touchdowns, and defensive interceptions. I am a team paler and will do everything in my power to help my team win. What set me apart from other athletes are the goals that I have and my determination to achieve those goals. Most athletes want to be a good football player, but I don’t want to be just a good football player I strive to be the very best at the position that I have. I know that in order to achieve this personal goal I must have to work three times as hard to be the best. I am the first one in the weight room and on the field and the last to leave. I’m also a 2016 state qualifying track athlete. I refuse to settle for being just the average athlete, I will continue to strive and dominate my opponents to reach me goals. I take advantage of all opportunities that are provided to me and will make the most of them. I give a lot of thank and credit to my family and coaching staff for supporting me on my journey to success.
