As a senior I have transferred to St. Frances Academy in Baltimore, MD. Playing a national schedule against the top high schools, fast speed of game, travel schedule, and living away from home will all help me best prepare for college.
I love to compete playing pressure filled positions in big spots in games. My parents helped influence my life by getting me into all sports from an early age. My father was a Division 1 college soccer player and he has taught me how sports will help prepare me for life when I am done playing. I played academy soccer and travel baseball through middle school and then began kicking and punting for my high school football team freshman year. I had never punted until high school so I have had tremendous growth in just 3 years. Now I am a nationally ranked punter in the 2025 class.
As a junior I was the starting Varsity Punter and Kicker for St. Pius X in the very competitive Class 6A Georgia High School Football Association. For the 2023 season we played against four of the best teams in the state (3 in top 20) so I am competing against some of the most talented players. Two of the teams were in Class 7A (highest class). Even though I am a specialist I attend every summer workout, every weekly practice, and every morning lift. I have increased my strength and the distance of my kicks and punts including hang times have had major growth. Playing baseball for many years helped me develop good hands and eye hand coordination which has helped my punting.
My goal is to continue playing football after high school because I love playing on a team and helping my team win games. In my first game junior year I pinned the opponent on the 6 yard line and the next play resulted in a safety. Against Blessed Trinity I pinned the opponent on a directional punt on the 4 yard line which resulted in a fumble and touchdown the following play. As a specialist it requires a lot of self-training and preparation.
I am excited to be going through the recruiting journey to see what the future holds.
