I began to play football at nine years old in the third grade and have had a passion for the sport ever since. I have played every position on the offensive and defensive line, but no matter where I play, there's one thing I know for sure, lining up across from another player and knowing that he wants to beat me just as badly as I want to beat him gives me one of the greatest feelings there is. After suffering a season ending injury at the beginning of my junior season and spending six weeks in a wheel chair and months in physical therapy, I returned for spring football going into my senior year. My faith in God and perseverance has brought me back as strong and healthy as ever. I have no preference as to where I play or at what level but I do know that I want nothing more than to continue to play football for the next four years.
