Named 2017 Channel 7 All-Star Team - Defense...........hard work does pay. I was also named ALL REGION Offense and Defense; ALL CONFERENCE Offense and Defense, and GNC Defensive Player of the Year this year. I also received the HATCHET and MVP awards from my Coaches and Teammates. I led the conference with tackles the past two years.
I know how important it is to always work harder and try harder than the next guy. Football is both a game of physical toughness, and mental toughness. I have both. During my off-season, I'm enrolled in the Parasi Speed School program to improve my quickness and agility. Football is my passion. My current GPA is 3.4. I realize academics are extremely important. I'm leaning toward a BS in Biology, and going on for my Doctor of Chiropractic or Physical Therapy.
My sophomore and junior years I started on the Varsity Team. My positions are Full Back and Middle Linebacker. I want to continue balancing my love for sports with the desire to soar academically. My immediate goals are to continue with academic excellence, and excel in high school sports by being the best I can be. I've started seriously looking at colleges that match my desire for both a career and sports.
I want to be a student of the game, and a leader and football player my teammates look up to. I look forward to proving my abilities to you in knowing I will always give 100% on and off the field.
