US National Football Team Development Games
7/11/17 to 7/15/17
An awesome experience getting to represent the USA in the development games. The goal is to earn a roster spot on the US National Team and play in the International Bowl in January in AT&T Stadium against Canada. However, even if I am not selected, I am extremely proud of how I performed at the games. The highlight was definitely being selected by my coaches & teammates to be the flag bearer for our team. This is one of the highest honors that can be given to an athlete at the games. It is usually given to the athlete the coaches and players feel exemplifies great leadership. I was so honored to be selected to run the flag out on the field before our game. Unfortunately, we came up just short in the game, losing by a touchdown, but I was very pleased with my performance, especially my first series in at quarterback where I went 8 of 10 for 59 yards and a touchdown.

I have been working with the coaches from NFA since 5th grade. They have had a tremendous impact in my growth as a quarterback. I not only attend several of their camps each year, but I also work with a couple of their coaches, Adam Britt and Michael Slack, one on one throughout the year.
