2017 Highlights
2016 HighlightsPersonal Statement
In 2015 season our team won the MTAC State Championship. I am a team player first, but I would like to mention my individual accomplishments. I received the defensive MVP award at my high school '15. I led the nation in sacks for all divisions as a sophomore on Max Preps. This past season of 2016, we repeated as state champions and I received the all tournament defensive player award, was selected to the NACA Extreme Football All Star Team, and was named team captain. I repeated my defensive MVP award at my high school in 2016. I also repeated as Max Preps national sack leader. In 2017, I added WR & OLB to my DE & TE positions. I was happy to help my team as we changed things up later in season due to injuries. I was able to score 7 TD's in the 4 games I played receiver. I averaged receiving 50.5 yards per game. I continued to play both side of the field at all times. I had 73 tackles with 21 tackles for loss. I had 13 sacks with 85 yards for loss in sacks. Though my national sack average went down from 21 to 13 due to position changes, I will always be a team player first. I enjoyed every moment I played in all positions.I was also honored to be handed the Sword of Leadership for my upcoming Senior Class of 2018, become a Mentor to MS kids and be selected for Student Leadership Counsel. I am drawn to helping people who struggle. Football is what has kept me driven since age 5. It is a brotherhood to me, not just a game. I will lift them up, love them, and hold them accountable. I will play the opponent hard, knock them down, yet offer a hand up when needed. Sportmanship matters.
I have an incredible testimony to share that led me to this place in my life. I am a 10 week premature twin who wasn't given a chance to make it in life. But I was fighter and an overcomer from the beginning. Almost everything I was told I could not do, I have done. Not that it has been easy, but I was up to the challenge when given the chance. My faith is strong, and I believe that God has a plan and purpose for my life.
Academics have been tough at times, and I will need to use your resources to accommodate my IEP, so I can keep my grades where they need to be. I realize that my football career may not last forever, so I want a back up plan. All I ask is a chance to show you what I am made of... from my character, to my skills.
Thank you for your consideration. I am currently taking college visits, and going to camps. I hope to hear from you soon.

- UPDATE ON THIS SHOWCASE TODAY Just arrived back in Nashville after a great time with UWG. I want to thank Head Coach Dean for taking the time to talk with me. Your facilities are amazing, but listening to you speak, and the words you chose really showed me the person you are outside of football alone. I liked that. And to you Coach Aldridge, it seems like I just missed you today, but thank you again for the personal invite. With such an amazing turnout, I know things were a little crazy. So glad I got to meet some of the many coaches attending. Looking forward to seeing KCU later this week at camp. Nice talking with you today.
