Why do you play football?
Football is something that I love, and always have loved. What I really love about football is the process of getting better every day. I play football because I love the sport, as well as the brotherhood and family it creates.
Who is your favorite sports star and WHY?
My favorite sports star would have to be Luke Kuechly. I love watching his ability to use his field intelligence to make big hits and game changing plays. He’s a guy that plays my position and really opened my eyes to how much film helps you.
Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:
My favorite play I remember was definitely scoring the game sealing touchdown against moon in the regular season last year. It was a huge game for us and we came together as a team drove 95 yards in less than 2 minutes, and just that feeling of sealing the game felt amazing.
What are your goals for this coming season?
Be the best player and leader I can be for my team, and go get a ring.
What does the word “Coach” mean to you?
The word coach means a guy that’s gonna push me past my limits and make me uncomfortable to make me better on the field. A guy that also is gonna talk with me and build a relationship with me off the field. A coach to me means someone that always wants the best for me and for me to succeed and does the things needed for me to do so.
What is your favorite season of the year?
Football season definitely.
