How did you get started playing your sport?

Decided to come out freshman year with some buddies.

What is your favorite part about this sport? What is the most challenging part about this sport?

My favorite part is definitely Friday nights. There’s nothing like that feeling when the game starts and everything else fades away. The toughest part is learning how to handle failure, from games you lose, to mistakes you make but those moments teach you the most about who you are.

Do you have a bucket list goal that pertains to your sport?

Play at the highest level I can.

How does it feel as a senior, to look back throughout high school and see your growth (as a person and athlete)?

It feels strange to know it’s coming to an end, but looking back as a senior, it honestly feels rewarding to see how much I’ve grown not just as an athlete, but as a person. I’ve faced a lot of challenges, from injuries to setbacks, but each one taught me something about resilience, patience and hard work. I’m proud of how far I’ve come and how much stronger I’ve become both mentally and physically.

Do you have any pre-game rituals/routines/superstitions?

Nap, shower, pb&j and then listen to music.

Any quotes that help you in your sport or life in general?

“In everything he did he had great success because the Lord was with him”- 1 Samuel 14:18

Favorite food?

Ribs with mac & cheese.

Any hobbies outside of your sport?

Golfing and fishing, hanging out with friends.

Favorite movie/TV show?

Shutter Island.

Any memorable coaches or teammates you’d like to shout out?

My wide receiver coach, coach Taylor, quarterbacks coach, coach Knott, and Coach Strickland are all reasons why I love and play the game.

Future Plans? (college, major, career, etc.)

I am undecided on where I will be attending, but I plan to attend a four-year and play football.
