Football drives me to give everything I have — it’s where I can showcase my athleticism, challenge my limits, and share the field with others who are just as dedicated all while creating a brotherhood.
Football runs deep in my family & my biggest inspirations are my dad & brother, who both played the game. They’ve taught me that being a great athlete is about more than just skill, it’s about staying humble, respectful, and dedicated on & off the field. Watching their passion & determination pushes me to work harder every day & play with a mindset of greatness. Their influence has shaped who I am as a person & player, & they inspire me to pursue my dreams & take after my Brother at the D1 level
One of my proudest moments as a parent is watching my son play with such undeniable passion. From the sideline, you can feel it—every move he makes, every play, every ounce of effort comes straight from his heart. His love for the game shows not just in how he plays, but in how he leads, inspires, and never gives up. Watching him play is truly a feeling you cannot describe. His passion isn’t just seen—it’s felt. It’s an emotion that cannot be put into words.
