What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreI’d say the best part of playing football is the brotherhood—the relationships, trust, and memories that come from working toward something together.
The people who inspire me most are my family, especially my stepdad. Watching him work hard, coach others and never give up has taught me what it means to be committed and resilient. On the field, I’m inspired by my teammates because we push each other to get better every day. Also my mom, my biggest cheerleader
One moment in my athletic journey that made me the proudest was transferring schools during my junior year and having to start over in a new football program. Leaving a place where I was comfortable and stepping into a new environment was challenging. I had to meet new coaches, earn the respect of new teammates, learn a new system, and prove myself all over again.
