Why do you play football?
I play football not just for the love of the game, but to build a family. I recognize that football is a game of sportsmanship and dedication.It makes me learn from my mistakes and it wants me to become a trustful leader in the future.Football helps my mind focus on things that’ll make me become a better person in the future. Football depicts the matter of time because that is the most important thing when building endurance, mind and success of a football player.
Who is your favorite sports star and WHY?
Jj McCarthy is my favorite sports star at this time because of his incredible leadership when playing on the natty Michigan team in 2023. His composure to reacting under pressure, and his quiet leadership and confidence corresponds to me very well. I love his trust in players that are willing to become better through hard work and dedication
Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:
My favorite play in my football career happened to be last year in our PAC crossover game against PV, it was 4th and 6 at our opponents 35 yard line. We happened to be passing the ball and I of course knew everything was going to be covered so as soon as the ball snapped I took my reads, stepped into the pocket and escaped out to my right rushing toward the sideline for the first down. An opponent infront of me and one behind. I managed to make them collide after trying to tackle me. I ended up diving for the 1st down markers and giving us another great chance to win the game
What was your toughest game in 2025 season?
The toughest game in my 2025 season was definitely our 5th game of the season where I probably played my worst game of the season throwing 2 interceptions and not giving my team enough hope to win the game. Whether it was running the ball or passing the ball but our team couldn’t get enough momentum in the second half to win the game. We then figured out a way to bounce back and win the next week

What if your favorite season of the year?
