The best memory I’ve had so far is my first sack, I’ll never forget the excitement and joy it brought me
Who is your favorite pro athlete and why?
My favorite pro athlete is Mike Tyson. Even though he retired, he still has and had a big impact on the reason why I push myself so hard. I love what he stood for, how he kept going and Persevered through all his obstacles.
Is there any specific person you look up to and use as a role model?
I have many role models starting with my coaches to my teammates they all push me to be the best athlete I can I wouldn’t be where I am skill wise if it wasn’t for them
What would be your desired major in college?
I’ve wanted to be a registered nurse since I was young. I’ve always wanted to get into the medical field, I feel like I’d really enjoy it. Helping people is my specialty
Coming off a year with COVID struggles, what do you think this year will be like?
I’m really looking forward to this year without the restrictions due to Covid, we are finally able to get in the weight room and get stronger which will benefit the team astronomically this year.
Favorite play to run?
Any play that has to do with me rushing the edge, I use my speed to blow past the tackles and it works 100% of the time.
Favorite pre-game meal?
My favorite pre-game meal is anything with tuna in it Tuna fuels me to be my best or if I’m being unhealthy ill have some cookies
Favorite sports movie?
My favorite sports movie is Greater, its showed me no matter what anybody says if you push yourself and put the work in you can be great.
Favorite activity you do during the off season?
My favorite activity to do besides wrestling and football is probably reading. I love to read, reading also helps me be a better athlete.Certain things you read can be applied to any sport.
Other than your home stadium/field, what stadium/field would you rate the best?
My favorite stadium is probably Western Wayne, playing on turf is way better than playing in Grass
Most embarrassing sports moment?
My most embarrassing football moment is probably when I jumped in a pile after the play was over because I didn’t hear the whistle.
College Offers… If so, by what schools ?
Unfortunately I don’t have any offers. Last year, was my first year and due to Covid, I couldn’t really get my name out there. But it’s a new year, and once these coaches see what I can do they’ll all be interested.
What are you looking forward to most this year?
This year I want to make a statement . My goal is to pave the way for the upcoming players show them that success isn’t impossible if they try hard enough. I want to show everyone that you don’t need size or height, all you need is heart. Looking forward to bringing change to the game.
