How has football helped you in the game of life:

First of all, football has given me a core group of friends that I will have for a lifetime and we even talk about that fact. It has also taught me the value of self-discipline and will power. It has instilled a hard-working mentality, a personal work ethic that I will have forever, no matter what I work to achieve. I have seen the payoff and it’s worth ever bit I put into it.

Your biggest role model and why:

I would have to say my biggest role model is my former 2018 teammate Adam Burkhart. He showed a lot of leadership and offered guidance to me on the varsity game field as a sophomore. He made all the difference for me that year.

Words of wisdom/advice for the kids in the youth or midget program:

It’s true what they say. Time does fly. So enjoy every game, every practice. And just know that everything you do to prepare while you’re in the dark will always find a way to come out and help you to shine on Friday nights.

The one person you would like to meet:

GaryVee. He gives great advice and he is all over social media. Although he does curse a lot.

Ray Lewis is probably my favorite athlete because the passion he showed for the game was unmatched.

Drake
