Something I learned is that you only have one life. My Grandma has Stage 4 terminal breast cancer. Which has opened my eyes to life. Life is to short and you have one chance to make the best of it. Football has become a way of life. Something that separates me from everyone else is that I’m willing to do the little things every single day in which will prepare me to be successful. Anyone can show up for practice but what are you doing when nobody’s watching. I am committed to the process. Even though sometimes it’s not easy but I believe in myself and put faith in god that someone gives me a chance.

I want to create a better culture and a legacy before I graduate from Dow. If I can leave something for the younger guys on the team and set the program up for success for the future, that’s my ultimate goal. We are filled with seniors this year and so my goal is to work our butts of this off season so we are put in the best spot to be successful.

Yes, I am very interested at playing at the highest level I can possibly play. I am being raised by a single mom and transferred from a Class D school to a Class A when I was 13. Too many people have done so much for me and sacrificed their own lives to put my dream and goals in front of me. I want to make them proud and work harder than anyone else. But this is what I want to do. I love putting on pads and striking fear and others. There is no betting feeling then running out and mentally preparing for a Friday night light game.
