Personal Statement

My goal is to play football at a college that will allow me to not only contribute to the football program but excel in the classroom. I take a very workmanlike approach to sports, I come every day ready to put in the work that needs to be done. 

I plan to major in business with an emphasis in finance, economics, or real estate and minor in history, with the goal of being a military officer. I am open to attending any size school in any area. 

I am ranked a 4.5 Star Recruit, #1 in TX, and #19 nationally in the class of 2020 by Rubio Longsnapping.  I am ranked #1 in TX in the Dave Campbell's Texas Football Magazine (2019). Most important is to be ready to snap at the college level and contribute to my team.

For 2020 I have been slected to play in the HEB/US Army All Star Game in the Alamodome on January 4, 2020.

For 2019 I have been selected to attend the elite Top 12 Camp this summer in Los Angeles as one of the top 40 long snappers in the country. One of only 20 long snappers invited to compete for the long snapper position in the 2020 Polynesian All American Bowl. I was named a Semper Fidelis All American for the class of 2020. USA National Team invitee. Blue-Grey All American Bowl invitee.

In 2018 I participated in the prestigious Underclassman Invitational as one of the top 100 underclassman long snappers. 

While long snapping is my primary focus I also play linebacker and defensive end. I am on the varsity track and field team, was on the varsity wrestling team for two years and played baseball for two years.

I am very involved in my community and have started a club for athletes to be more involved called LIFT (Lifting Individuals Families and Teens). I am also active in social organizations (DeMolay International), my church (Holy Trinity Presbyterian), and a non-profit (Born Again Sports). By helping others I am able to improve my community, help those in need, and enjoy the personal rewards that come from doing good works. In school, I take Honors/AP courses and maintain an A average.

I am on the football, wrestling, baseball, and track and field teams.
