Football Mentor/Inspiration: My inspiration is my 2 year old daughter named Paityn Chisholm. I want her to have the best life possible. Also coming from a small city filled with so much potential, but people get caught up into the wrong things. I want to show them that anything is possible when you believe in God and focus and do what’s required to get to their destination in life. My inspiration and fire comes from also only having one offer. Every time I hit the field I feel like there’s a chip on my shoulder to go prove everyone wrong. Who pasted on me.

Proudest Football Moment/Memory: Winning against our rival Kent State last year 2013-14, and winning the wagon wheel back which is the wheel we compete for each year. Just to see my teammates so happy, and enjoying themselves made me feel like the happiest person alive knowing you helped your brothers accomplish history.

Funniest Football Memory: My 8th grade football season we played against Chambersburg, Pa. I was running the ball and did a spin into a guy who knocked my chin strap loose and I seen stars. I thought it was funny because too this day I keep my head on the swivel when I spin. I now talk about it often when a funny football story comes up in a conversation I’m in.
