Here’s my interview with Travis!
What got you into football?
My family, looking at them and watching them play on the field was an inspiration for me. Coming back from when my uncle passed away…one thing he always told me was: “Play football son, play your heart out” and that inspired me to go hard on the field and everything.
Who do you play the most like?
A lot of people like to call me another Micah Parsons. You know the same number and sometimes they say we look alike on the field. I get that a lot.
What’s your strongest attribute is in football?
The physicality. I probably bring more powerful hits than anybody, you know I want to make sure you know I’m here.
What differentiates you from the rest?
My mindset. Like the way I think about the game, play the game, and the way I carry myself.
Dream college for football?
Penn State or LSU. Because Micah Parsons went to Penn State and LSU because it’s home man, and you always want to feel like you’re at home.
Dream teammate?
Lamar Jackson or Micah Parsons.
Favorite pat of football?
Probably sacking the quarterback you know me sacking the quarterback gets everyone hype. Getting to hit somebody that’s on the opposite side of the field is fun.
Favorite football team?
The Baltimore Ravens because Lamar Jackson.

The one with the big guy, Blindside.
Playing football has been a great thing for me. Greatest game I’ve ever played and I just hope any player should keep going and keep pursuing your dream. Never give up.
