I was also awarded the Team Award and MVP for the soccer team. For my club, I have won the awards for best skill and fastest player. For my league, I am considered one of the fastest players in our province.

Nigerian National Team:

I have recently been asked to trial for the Nigerian National U18 and U20 teams. Due to COVID-19, I am unable to do this at the moment but I am looking forward to that opportunity while focusing on my NCAA experience.
