I’m fired up to be kicking and punting — and I’m learning at an insane pace. I played soccer since I was four and never played a down of football until this fall, yet after starting to kick footballs in March 2025 I’m already drilling 63-yard field goals, hitting 84% kickoff touchbacks, and winning FG competitions at D1 camps. In July I earned my first official offer by going perfect on all FGs in camp — capped with two 57-yarders in a row that had the coach saying, “There’s no way this is your first year… we’re making you an offer right here today.” At 6’3”, 220 lbs, 4.0 GPA, and with a lifelong soccer background, I’m a true combo K/P with elite range, accuracy, and drive. I’m fully committed to training, recovery, and improvement every day. I have also now begun punting as of August 2025 and have been averaging over 41 yds per punt over the first three games of the 2025 season. In each game so far this year my punting average has increased by Week 3 my avg over 6 punts was 45 yds per punt. I'm a man of strong faith and I've focused on being a truly good friend to people, a good steward of my school and community, and I come from a large family successful in sports, US military service (father is a US Naval Academy grad and Navy football player), business, and life - I've been brought up the right way with Christian virtues of love, service to others, and loyalty. I seek to play college football because I truly love the sport, the art and science of kicking (and soon to be punting also), and the team camaraderie. While I strive to be the best teammate, football player, and citizen I can be.
