First and foremost I am a devout Christian that understands that without the good Lord, I would not even be considering playing at the collegiate level. He has blessed me in so many ways with the athletic ability that I do possess. I come from athletic parents where my mother is a personal trainer, gym owner, and recreation center manager. My father was a state track competitor, played collegiate football, and also has coached for many years, so I have grown up as a coach's son being taught drills from an early age, and have an understanding of the importance of film study. I want to play at the collegiate level for the main reason that I cannot imagine football being over forever after my senior year. I love the lockerroom environment and friendships that it brings when everyone is working to better themselves for the ultimate goal. To win games. I have almost always been an A/B student while being involved non-stop in sports since the age of 4. Being raised by a military veteran father showed me the importance of my academics, and my parents have always pushed me to make it a high priority. I have always been a multi-sport athlete that participates in football, basketball, and track at the high school level. I understand how being a multi-sport athlete helps me in every other sport. I have been playing football since the age of 5. I have played the positions of WR, TE, and DE with my true passion being at the WR position. I have played in both TYFA and AAU state championships. I also have been selected 3 times to play in the AAU Texas vs. Arkansas All-Star football game at Cowboys Stadium where the best AAU football players across the state of Texas get selected to play in. I take extreme pride in my ability to catch the football. I feel that if the ball hits my hands, it is my job as a WR/TE to catch it. I take most pride though in my mental, and physical toughness. I truly believe that the best ability a player can possess is availability. I take extreme pride in my blocking skills and helping the ball carrier to gain as many yards as possible. I have played physically since age 5 and can say that I have been blessed to never have been seriously injured. I have taken some big hits and always have bounced up ready for the next play. Playing collegiate football is a dream of mine, but to be blessed enough to do it, and for it to help me get a degree would be a dream come true.
