Tell us about your hometown, and what you love most about it?
- I am from a small town where everyone knows what is going on so I stay on my P’s and Q’s at all times
- Strength and Conditioning, Practice and Film Study. I chose this order because you first have to prepare your body and mind for war then study your opponent on how to dominate each rep that is played.
- I worry about not being good enough, I strive to be the best at anything I am doing whether I am playing cards or taking a test in class.
- I had a situation where I was a credit shy the semester before the season and had to sit out do to being ineligible. It wasn’t caught till late but I grinder for the whole year and got my grades right so I could finish out my college career.
- I bring a whole different type of energy to the field. I have ran the same defense for 5 years so my teammates could look to me and know I knew what to call
- Chris Mclenden my sophomore year, he played running back at Oklahoma Panhandle and was drafted into the NFL.
- I would be a coach of some sport. I have always been involved in all sports growing up and very well prepared to lead young kids to success
- I would have to clean my room first. That’s my happy place, and i have minor OCD so it needs to be in order.
- I would chose three strangers, my family members would know where I am coming from and would probably do the same thing.
- B-Rad in Malibu’s most wanted. I would turn that movie up to a whole new level.
- Adversity happens on a daily basis and I choose not to measure how hard something is, I just strive to get through it.
If you could bring one person back from the dead for one day, who would it be and why?
- My granny, she passed when I was young and she never got to see me grow up.
- White Chocolate
- I can’t even say, they are all doing something I would love to do so props to them.
Would you rather be liked or respected, and why?
- I would rather be liked. Respect can be earned in many different ways.
- Stevie Clark, played basketball against him and highschool and he was the truth.
- I hate to lose.
- My Dad, he has bee the biggest role model and leader I could have asked for growing up.
