What do you think are the keys to success on the football field?

• The keys to success on the field, I’ll say would be knowing how to deal with adversity and being self-less, being able to do what’s best for the team. As well as giving 100% on and off the field because what you do off can translate to how successful you’ll be on the field.

What made you decide you wanted to be a football player?

What are your favorite moments from your football life?

• My favorite moment would be back in 2019 when we won our conference championship game. As well as my first touchdown as a UCA Bear which was at Hawaii.

How do you handle challenges both in life and on the football field?

• By seeking and asking for advice and help. I can face those challenges head-on and alone, but if you surround yourself with the right people those that got your back the same as your got theirs you’ll be able to handle and deal with any challenge in life. Even if it’s advice and help from teammates, coaches, family, and friends.

What would a team get in a player like you?

• Any team I go to will get everything out of me no matter what position I’m put at, and I will push those around me to be better as well in every aspect.

What do you love about the game of football?

• The feeling of it, the thrill, excitement, happiness I have for the game. The feeling when people cheer for you when you score a touchdown, run over someone or make an amazing play. The family/brotherhood you build through the game of football is also another reason.
