What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

What I love most about playing football is being a wide receiver and being able to run various routes. Having a quarterback that I can build a connection with to help in aiding and caring our team into numerous of wins. I love the ability to connect with other young men my age that I can build lifelong connections and friendships with and be able to call my family.


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

My Father introduced me to football in the 4th grade and began training me and preparing me to play any position. Over the years my father began to face health challenges that have left him in a state of a constant fight for his health, and he is no longer able to sit beside me at games and help me train. I know one day I will get there if I stay persistent and stay the course. My inspiration on the field is being able to model those who are where I want to be and use their advice and training


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

When my son first started playing travel football, he was nervous and as time went on, he began to open up. He is always eager to learn and is very teachable and when the other players on the team didn't want to step up to play quarterback, he asked me what he should do and the next day at practice he stood up and stepped in. That opened up the door for him to see his true potential in football and has scored countless touchdowns in every game after. He never thinks he is bigger than his team
