Being named 2nd team All-American my sophomore year. It was a great honor but I knew there was still work to be done and that ultimately made me prepare harder for the following season. 

9.What made you decide you wanted to be a football player?

I’ve been around the game since I was about 4 years old. I always wanted to play so when I got old enough it was a no-brainer for my parents to put me in the sport.

A team player, someone who will lead by example and give their best effort at all times.
