I thrive on the competition, pushing past my limits, staying focused, and showing up with heart and discipline—on the field, on the track, and in life. Competing pushes me to get better every day. I love being part of something bigger and represent my team with pride. Football teaches me leadership and toughness, while track sharpens my speed and mental strength. Both sports challenge me to grow, stay hungry, and give my best in everything I do.
My parents inspire me on and off the football field through their love, sacrifice, and example. They’ve taught me discipline, hard work, and to never give up. Their support pushes me to give my all in every game, and their values guide the way I live off the field. They’re the reason I keep striving to be better—on the field, in the classroom, and in life.
What makes me the proudest is the resilience and determination he showed during a time of adversity after a severe injury. He continued to cheer his team on, even though he couldn’t be on the field. He had a tough recovery, but now he’s back ready for this season.
