Why did you start playing football?
- My coach tried to get me to understand that it is an easy way for me to get into college and an easy way for my mom to be able to pay for college. And it was something that I really wasn’t that bad at and I had natural talent in so I decided to give it a try.

Do you think a player’s attitude affects the results of a football game? Why or why not?
- It takes a huge toll on the game. An angry mind really takes away from you being able to understand what you have to do. So if you’re mad you can deal with it two ways either you can let it fuel you up to play better or let it take you down.
