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

Playing for football is not only a game but a challenge to push my limits. The brother hood and seeing my teammates meet their goals is a reward in itself. Being on the field is a feeling that is so hard to put into word. Football is my peace.


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

My inspiration is my mother, regardless on how hard things get with her health she never gives up and never stops going. She always tells me no one can stop you but you and she leads by example.


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

There are many moments that he has made us proud. If we had to pick one it’s not even at this age now. It would have to be when he was 8 years old. He told his dad he wanted to be the running back, his dad told him positions are earned and it takes a-lot of work to earn it and to keep it. That moment on he has done nothing but put his all to be a better version of himself and knows that there is always someone out there that wants that position as well. He has not stopped since then.
