Why do you play football?
Football is a way I can take my mind of the stress and be able to have a getaway from some of the incidents in my life. My brother had a vey bad accident where he burned the majority of his body and sometimes at home it can be very stressful. So with football its a place where I enjoy myself and have a good time with my teammates. I have loved this game since I picked up a ball at age 6.

Who is your favorite sports star and why?
Odell Beckham Jr. I have grown up a giants fan all my life so Odell has always been one of my favorite players. My favorite play was when he had the three fingered catch for a touchdown against the Dallas cowboys. Because I was so young I always wanted to be like him and be able to make those types of plays on the field.

What sports movie would you watch every day if you had to pick one and why?
Rudy because it inspired me to never give up on any dream no matter what obstacle I face. In the movie, Rudy’s dream was always to play football in college for Notre Dame and he didn’t give up till her accomplished that goal.

If your mom and dad are screaming at you from the stands, what is it they usually yell?
