Who is your favorite sports star and why?
I would choose Saquon Barkley as my favorite sports star because he always seems to amaze people. He not only shows good character on the field but off the field as well in his community and youth football camps!
Why do you play football?
I play football because of the love I have for it and because of the bonds I’ve made with my teammates. When you’re on the field, your brothers and when you’re off, you’re brothers and I play because no other sport in my opinion can bring young men like that together!
What sports movie would you watch every day if you had to pick one and why?
I would watch The Blind Side everyday because it shows what hard work and commitment can you lead you to a bright future. Also because it resembles someone who came from nothing and did the best with what he had and turned his dreams into reality!
Is there anyone in your family, besides your parents, you could consider your biggest fan? Who, Why?
I would say my older brother Jevon. He’s at every game whether he’s rooting for me or his friends, he’s there and I know I have his support which means a lot!
