His passion for sports, especially football, has burned since he was 2 -pointing at the tv saying “I play football on tv”.

What he loves most about playing football is the brotherhood, teamwork, the energy, and the feeling of making a big play for his team. In wrestling, he loves the one-on-one challenge—it’s all on him. Both sports make him stronger, tougher, and more confident. It pushes him mentally and physically, and he gets to prove how hard he has worked.
On the field, both Brian Cushing and Reggie White inspire him. Off the field, his mom inspires him as he’s watched my strength and it’s shows him to never give up.
His very first year of wrestling, he placed 3rd. It wasn’t just about the medal; it was about his grit, his drive & how quickly he embraced the sport. Now when it comes to football, my proudest moment isn’t one of his sacks, Pick6 or a highlight-reel play. Freshman year, just 2 minutes before halftime in the 2nd game of the season, he dislocated & broke his thumb. Despite surgery and recovery, he never missed a practice or game. He showed up, supported his team & led from the sidelines.
