How did you get started playing your sport?
Basketball - Both my parents played and had an older cousin that I looked up to a lot that also played. Been around it my whole life.
Football - Played flag football and a little bit of tackle football growing up, didn’t play in middle school due to COVID and injuries. I decided to try it out in high school and fell in love with the sport.

How has the balance between academics and athletics changed for you from freshman to senior year?

It has taught me a lot about how to manage my time. Figuring out when to do my homework throughout the week while still going to practice and games.

Building relationships and a brotherhood with the guys around me. When you love the guys around you, it’s easier to play your hardest for them

What is the most challenging part of this sport?
Overcoming setbacks and mental blocks. Yes football is a very physical game, but I think there is also a key mental aspect to it as well. Staying out of my head and not letting setbacks compound benefitted me.

Winning Round 1 in the playoffs and celebrating with the guys afterwards.

Any memorable coaches or teammates you’d like to shout out?
I would like to shoutout Coach Marsh and Coach Krause for always believing in me, and not only pushing me to be the best football player that I can be, but molding me into the man I am today.
I’d also like to shout out our athletic trainer, Mel. I unfortunately spent a lot of time injured in her room and she always made sure my needs were met, whether it was helping me get back from an injury or giving me snacks after a long day or practice. :)
