Join the CompetitionWhat I love most about playing football is the lifelong friendships I’ve built and the valuable life lessons I’ve learned along the way. The game has taught me discipline, perseverance, and how to work as part of a team. Every practice and game helps shape me into a better athlete and a better person, and the bonds I’ve formed with my teammates are like family memories and lessons I’ll carry with me forever.
Jesus Christ inspires me both on and off the field. He’s my true role model and superhero. His strength, humility, and love guide how I play the game and how I live my life. Through every challenge, win or loss, I look to Him for purpose and direction. His example reminds me to lead with faith, serve others, and give my best in everything I do.
One of the proudest moments in my athletic journey was when I transferred from a school where I had no exposure—no one knew my name, and I wasn’t getting any looks. But I stayed focused, worked harder than ever, and trusted the process. All that dedication paid off when I earned a Division 1 offer. It was proof that faith, hard work, and perseverance can open doors no one thought possible.
