From the time I started playing sports of any kind, what people notice first about me is my drive and determination. I play hard, focused ball with every ounce of my energy. I love football and have been playing since third grade. I love the hitting, the training, the discipline and dedication, the camaraderie. My skills as a player have been honed over the years,ending in my selection to the first-team All-Metro League as outside linebacker. I now feel ready to pursue my dream of playing college football, taking my skills to a new level and being able to experience college as a student-athlete.Football has given me the chance to develop leadership skills with my fellow players as well as with the youth that we coach during summer training. I have also been an active member of Young Life ministry for years and have had a leadership role in our chapter. I look forward to playing collegiate football for the opportunity to bring my game to to the next level and to further my education with the focused classes that college will provide.
