I started playing football late in 8th grade and quickly found it to be my passion. As a freshman I did not start my first game but I was able to show my skills and ability to make plays and quickly earned my playing time as a starter. From the time I went in, I became the new starting DE for the season and would go on to earn a varsity position as a freshman. My success comes from hard work and my love of the game. I’m excited for the upcoming varsity season to learn new skills and battle with my team. I will build from this season and continue to grow my abilities on and off the field. I love the journey football has taken me on and I’m excited to see where it leads me. Wherever it is, I know I will have to use my dedication and drive to get me there.
