I have been fortunate to grow up watching my two Uncles play high school and college football. This motivated me to play football and follow in their footsteps. Going to their high school games and watching their college games streamed, inspired me to want to carry on the legacies that they started. Seeing my Uncles overcome injuries and tough losses by returning stronger the next season helped me to see that football is about passion and dedication. Seeing them succeed has helped me to stay grounded in my schoolwork and stay focused on my goals on and off the field. My passion and dedication to football and my goal to go to college is what drives me to be successful in all areas of my life.
