It’s his passion. He loves the grind, the challenge, and the chance to prove what he’s built for. He thrives off teamwork, competition, and the feeling of leaving it all on the field. Football pushes him to be better every day mentally and physically. It’s where he finds purpose, discipline, and pride. The game isn’t just fun it’s part of who he is.
His older brother, father, and grandfather inspire him they all played and passed down their love for the game. He proudly wears their number to honor that legacy. But Ray Lewis was his first true football idol. He watched him daily as a kid and even met him at 6 years old. That moment lit the fire. Their example and Ray’s intensity push him to lead, work hard, and be great on and off the field.
After moving to Texas, he had to adjust to a new school, new team, and bounce back from being out of shape. Through all that adversity, he stayed focused, earned his spot, and led his team to the championship. Watching him push through every obstacle and rise to the occasion made me prouder than ever. He proved to himself and everyone else that he’s built for it.
