I have always wanted to play football at the collegiate level. I love the game and its' physicality. I have worked hard in the weight room and the practice field to get where I am and know the value of hard work. You will never get a greater effort than I will give to you on the field, in the weight room, and in the classroom. Academically, I am always striving to get better, and while having experienced a few difficult times in the classroom, I apply the lessons I have learned on the football field about never giving up and getting right back up and getting after it. I truly appreciate the opportunity that is in front of me and would never take it for granted. I have a brother who was born with CP and lives his life in a wheelchair. I would give anything to see him be able to run on a football field. Every time I step on the field he is with me. It motivates me greatly to see the excitement it brings him to live his dream through me as I play. The truth is he is MY hero.
