He loves the adrenaline of the game, especially having the ball in his hands as a running back. Breaking tackles, making big plays, and helping his team win drives his passion. But more than that, he loves the brotherhood, the bond with his teammates, the grind at practice, and the challenge to improve every week. Football pushes him to be better, on and off the field.
Off the field, his father is his greatest inspiration. Someone he deeply respects and looks up to for his strength, values, and constant support. His dad’s belief in him gives him confidence beyond the game. On the field, he’s inspired by Saquon Barkley. Watching Saquon’s toughness, explosiveness, and work ethic fuels his own passion and makes him dream bigger every time he steps on the field.
The proudest moment has been watching all his hard work in training show up in games, not just through his performance, but in how he carries himself. Seeing him become a leader, a great teammate, and someone who plays with heart means everything. I’ve always told him to be a good person, student, and athlete. Watching him live that out makes me incredibly proud.
