What unique qualities do you bring to a potential college football program? I’d give programs an opportunity to expand the playbook a bit as I can catch out of the backfield and run routes well. I’m committed and dedicated to becoming the best player I can be. I’m a team player and will play wherever the coaches put me.

What has been your favorite moments so far in your playing career? Scoring my first varsity touchdown during our homecoming game.

Off-season training group/7on7 program?  I played on a Boom 7v7 15u regional team last year, however this year I’m not playing 7v7. Instead I’m doing multiple training sessions a week at Win Performance.

Do you play any other sports? If so which ones?  Yes I run Track & Field. My events are the 100M, 200M, 4x100m relay and occasionally the 400M

Have you played high school football yet at the varsity level?  Yes
