Hello future college coaches! I started playing football in the 5th grade with the local youth league. I started playing because I was bullied for my size and wanted to prove people wrong about my ability to succeed and it provided me with a physical outlet for my anger and frustration at being bullied. As I continued with the youth football program, I realized that it challenged me, both mentally and physically and I welcomed that! I enjoy watching football with my father and studying and critiquing the players and their methods of playing. Even though I'm only in the 10th grade, I feel I've become a better lineman and my blocking techniques have improved. I feel I'm different from average recruits due to my self-discipline, dedication, and love of the game. I'm fascinated by the universe and everything out there - I want to pursue my dream of being an Astronomer and earning my Phd in Astronomy! As I've progressed through my relatively short football career, I have become a stronger person and a more skilled football player and I look forward to continuously improving my abilities!
