Someone who wants instant gratification without truly working for it.
Overcoming adversity is what defines character, what was the hardest moment in your life to overcome?
In 2021 I faced a tragic moment in my life, I was assaulted which led to me being spit on and called racial slurs. This moment in my life changed me for the better. After the video of me being spit on went viral, I received so much hate and backlash from people who looked like me, that I started to question if I made the right decision that day. I took the high road that day but it was hard for me to walk around with confidence after reading harsh comments and receiving hateful messages not only from whites but blacks as well. To be seen as a weak individual after making a decision I knew without a doubt in my mind was right almost became a disbelief for me. I thank God for surrounding me with a great family, friends, teammates, coaches, and the Northside Eagle family. Without their love and support I don’t think I could’ve overcame such a traumatizing situation.

Until the clock hits 00:00 there’s always the next play
