Personal Statement

I am a high character and complete player. My grades are just as important to me as I take pride in my school work as well as leading by example on my team. I play all three linebacker positions: Sam, Mike and Will. Being able to do all three shows my versatility. To be able to play football in college while earning my degree is paramount to me as I look forward to what the future brings. All I ask is for an opportunity to showcase my skills on and off the field. I will not disappoint.

I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to train with a coach that pushed me to become the best version of myself. I learned great fundamentals playing the MLB and OLB position. Which then I was able to apply throughout my session as a junior in high school. I will continue to grow and be better and look forward to my collegiate career.
