Why did you start playing football? I liked watching is on TV when I was young. My favorite was Tony Romo with the Cowboys. I liked watching him and I wanted to play like him. So when I started playing football, I started out as a quarterback. I practiced everyday to be more like Tony on the field As I grew, I ended up being moved to tight end and learned how to block. When I was in the 6th grade, I moved to wide receiver because I had really good hands.
Who are your role models? Tony Romo and Odell Beckham Jr. I like how composed Tony Romo was, how he played the game and carried his team. I like Odell because now that I play wide receiver, I watch how he plays so I can learn how to get better. In my opinion, he is one of the best in the league.

It means everything to me to be able to play college football, so I hope that I will have an opportunity this season to shine and get offered.
