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

I love the competition of the sport I play, in Football everything is rewarded and never given to you. You have to work for every single moment, I put a lot of time working on my craft.

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

Odell Beckham Jr. inspired me ever since a young age, he made me fall in love with football. Since i was very young i always looked up to him and he was my favorite player

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

One moment that makes me the proudest was when I was in 9th grade I got pulled up to varsity before the playoffs, i was happy i was on varsity but didn’t play at all so i was upset, but instead of just being mad about that all summer, i worked on my craft everyday and came back way better
