HUDL Highlights:
What unique qualities do you bring to a potential college football program? I would bring leadership, discipline, and coachability to a college football program. I’m a relentless work ethic on and off the field. I take pride in being a great teammate who is accountable, mentally strong, and committed to doing the little things that help the team succeed.
What has been your favorite moments so far in your playing career? One of my favorite moments in my playing career was an overnight football camp where our team was pushed mentally and physically, and we truly grew closer as a unit. Competing through tough workouts, late nights, and challenging drills forced us to rely on each other, build trust, and hold one another accountable. That experience showed me the importance of brotherhood and teamwork.
