Personal Statement

I have gained 30 pounds of muscle since the end of last football season. I also play TE, H-back, Safety and emergency QB. I played QB through youth up to freshman year and have been used on an off this last summer in 7v7 as an emergency QB.

My goals are to play football on scholarship, earn my degree and come back and coach at my High School, open a BBQ restaurant with my brother (Quade) who is also a junior and is a deep snapper, center and guard,

I am always eager to learn more about the game and love studying the game with my dad and brother.

You'll never have to ask me to work, I will be the first to show and the last to go in practice. I believe in positive energy, and that preparation and hard work will beat your opponent.

I have been taught by my parents that good character and being a good person will get you far and I firmly believe in that.

Academically I currently have a 3.5 GPA entering my Junior year. I referee soccer in the spring and fall and work for my dad's company Shannon Media.
