What style of play best describes you?
I am a physical player; I like the physicality of the game.

This past year in the state championship game it was definitely one to remember winning our second state championship in a row getting to play for my high school team for the last time and going out against a good team in St. Thomas Moore.
What areas of your game have you been working on trying to improve?
Moving sideline to sideline and my lateral burst is something that I am trying to develop the most right now. Overall my lateral acceleration is an area that I am working on.
What colleges are you interested in going to?
I am extremely interested in military services. I am really interested in trying to get into any service academy trying to recruit me. There is also some schools from the south that have showed interest so I have some pretty good options.

It was great it definitely exceeded all of my expectations that I previously had for it. It was a great time I had a whole lot of fun, the location of the game was great especially with how accessible it was for people all over Louisiana.
