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

I decided I wanted to be a football player while watching my family members play. I was trying to keep up as a kid. 

What are your favorite moments from your football life?

My first favorite moment was from 7th grade when I first switched to the Missouri Wolverines and realized the competition level was better in that league and I remember loving the major development. My second favorite memory is when I had my first career 100 rushing yard game my freshman year of college.

Which one of your family members inspires you the most and why?

My dad(Maurice) and my oldest brother(Anthony) inspire me the most. They are the ones who I get most wisdom from and would say where I get my patience and understanding from. 

What are you looking forward to in your upcoming season?

I’m looking forward to playing one last season with my team and also the opportunities for big plays because of the experienced offensive line.

If you could hang out with any football player past or present for a day, who and why?

Marshawn Lynch because he could teach me about the position in a fun and energetic way, and he could also show me some new unseen drills that could help me especially at the next level.

What are your favorite things about playing football for Missouri Western?

My favorite things about Missouri Western are the top of the line facilities, and the selflessness the staff has.

What should we know about Brandon Hall the person?

Brandon Hall is going to compete no matter who is in front of him at whatever level he is at and his high IQ, work ethic, and consistency is going to be his biggest motivators.

What is your favorite offensive scheme and why?

My favorite offensive schemes I would say is either the 49ers run game or Dolphins because when they run it’s a wide zone or a run play with more than one running lane. Most of the time their running backs are in open space and that’s where I’m a factor at.

How do you handle challenges both in life and on the football field?

Football teaches you that you can’t handle everything, so I handle challenges by doing my assignment for the next play and forgetting whatever happened before good or bad, but I can control my effort, preparation, and demeanor. Off the field I sort of handle challenges the same way, I break problems down, talk with my small group members if I’m with any, control what I can control. Now either if it’s a huge plus or a huge setback I still learn from it and fix any mistake I possibly made.

What would a team get in a player like you?

A team would get a guy that’s good in the locker room, I lead by example every chance I get.  An explosive, elusive, and versatile playmaker.

What stands out about your film the most?

On my film you will see vision and patience between the tackles, you will see me set up blocks for my lineman and receivers. I will always make the first guy miss while showing breakaway speed right after.

Who is the most underrated player you’ve played with and why?

I would have to say Dakari Streeter, he was my defensive end from 2023 and he had gotten All-American and DPOY he was astonishing. Really wish he would’ve gotten a shot with his dream team.
