On the field he is inspired by Micah Parsons Off the field his mother because she’s dedicated to taking care of her children, and hope to some day take care of her by doing something he enjoys every day
One specific moment that makes me proudest is when my son sat at the kitchen table in 9th and told me he will make it one day when I had doubts about football. Since then my son has not missed one practice. I am a single mom and often times cannot bring my son to practice and he will wake up and take the city bus or walk to get there. He will miss out on fun things like theme parks or family trips to make it to practice. He is truly committed and I am so proud of him.
