Football is a fun sport and I want to make it to the NFL to support and give back to my family.

What has been your best memory from football so far? 

Being the first team in Central Valley History to win a state title.

Who is your favorite pro athlete and why?

Walter Payton and because he was a straight-up animal and he plays my position and has taught me a lot just by watching his film.

Who is your biggest fan and why? 

My Mom (Xena Johnson) and because she supports me amazingly and is always at my games, she’s never missed one!

My dad (Todd Alexander).

What is your desired major in college?  

I’m stuck between three, archeology, marine biology, and sales. 

Coming off a year with COVID struggles, what do you think this year will be like?

I think Central Valley will win another state title and personally, I think I have a lot in store to show this year, I still feel like colleges are sleeping on my ability and I want to show them that I’m the REAL DEAL!

Favorite play to run?

450, it’s a sweep to me and I live just hitting the edge and taking off.

What is your personal goal for this season?

My personal goal is to get 2 thousand yards this season.

Favorite pre-game meal?

Me and my mom before every game get a frappe mocha and a 10 piece chicken nugget meal from McDonald’s.

Sports movie?

42.

Sport you’d love to play but can’t?

Boxing.

What are you looking forward to most this year?

To win a state title and commit to the college of my choice and take the next step in my life.
