What made you start playing football?
It was always my escape since I was kid. I grew up in section a and we always just went to the field, and played football it was my escape from the outside world and I fell in love with it.
What does being a good teammate mean to you?
I say it is the small things having integrity, making sure everyone is on the same page and checking on each other. It takes eleven people to be successful. Also, treating teammates like a brother and going above and beyond and not doing the bare minimum.
What motivates you most to play football?
Something I’m good at, but it was a blessing that God gave me because I’m undersized. My favorite part is giving back to the world, for the youth and people who watch sports. I want people to look up to me and know that you can achieve anything.
How has football helped you outside the sport?
The characteristics, discipline, consistency, and showing up when you don’t feel like it. Also l would say leadership and bringing everyone together to fill a purpose to the best of your ability rather than being divided.
How was your experience during the Bowl Game?
It was awesome, it was very structured. It taught us discipline, and it pushed us waking up early even though we was tired. The people and the coaches were great and it was a good experience. The main thing that I took away was that being a good person will allow you to prosper and take off. They made it known that it is bigger than the game.
Dream Football College?
UL, it is eventually my goal.
Favorite Pre Game song?
“Show the World”, by Boosie or “Untouchable” by NBA Youngboy.
Favorite NFL Player?
Luke Kuechly, because his intelligence and just his ability to watch film and know his opponents and he was fearless.
What was your favorite game so far?
Last year, when we played Barbe we lost but on the defensive side we were on it. The energy was everything, and it was my second game back because I had to sit from transferring. It was a shootout, the energy was just surreal.
What was your favorite football memory
Scoring my first touchdown, they snapped it to the quarterback and the ball ended up on his helmet and was spinning and I took it. When I got to the 50 yard line my pants started to fall down, but I still got to the end-zone and scored it.
