I had a stellar high school football career and served as one of the team captains for two years and the only Junior to be selected for this leadership role.

HdG is the smallest high school in the conference, with only 19 players on the roster and our coaches needed me the last two years to play the crucial linebacker position, where I rose to the challenge and excelled at that demanding position, leading the team in tackles. I have an exceptionally strong work ethic in the weight room as well, building up considerable strength (280 lb bench press, 420 lb squat) and good speed (4.7-40, 55sec-400m, 44sec-330 Hurdles on track team). One of my strongest assets is my drive and passion for the game of football and giving 100 percent effort on every play until the whistle blows.

I've maintained a 3.93 GPA and scored 22 on the ACT in June 2014.  I am very interested to continue playing football at the collegiate level. My academic interests include business management, international affairs and Criminal Justice. I have a diversity of career interests, including business or pursuing a career with the State Department or Homeland Security. I am interested and driven to continue playing football at the collegiate level while developing academically to pursue my career goals.  Our defensive coordinator (Coach Jerry Lee) can be reached at 410-459-1003.
