What advice would you give to a player that is younger than you and that is trying to make it in football?
Don’t give up. Football is a sport where you are gonna go through a lot of ups and downs and you have to fight through the pain, put your head down, and let the game work itself.
What is something football has taught you?
Definitely how to treat other people, when things get hard to never give up. Sometimes football can be very hard and going against another man cannot be easy, so doing so teaches you how to build your character and be the person that you are.
Do you have a game day ritual you do before every game?
Before I like to pray, praying helps me out. I follow the path of god.
What are your goals for this upcoming season?
It is going to be my senior year so I really have to prove myself, I want to prove to everyone the player I am and I want to show everyone who I am as well.
If you had to pick a dream school to play football at, what school would that be?
Boise State University, I always loved the color blue and it attracted my eye when I was younger. it is also a very nice school and football is very big there.
What is something you know you have improved on since last season?
I play D-line so my footwork. I wrestle to become a better football player. It teaches me how to move my feet and hands as well as how to open my hips.
How do you improve for a next game when the last one might’ve not went as well as you wanted it to?
The next play is always the best play, I don’t look back on the play, learning from my mistakes is a really good key factor in this game of life.
Do you have a player or someone you look up to in the football world?
Nick Bosa.
What is one of your favorite game day experiences?
This year against Whitney High School I played D-line and was watching a whole bunch of film and I read the screen properly then I caught a 54 yard touchdown.
What does football mean to you?
Football kinda directs with life, it teaches me if I do something stupid I have to pay the effects to my coaches and community. I want everyone to know that I am a good kid and being in football helps with that as well as keeps my mind in it.
