A: Being named the overall MVP of my 8th grade football team.
Q: What do you consider to be one of the more important things you learned from the coaching staff while playing at your school?
A: Putting my academics first, and being a person who Character speaks volumes of the type of person I am. Also, finding ways to make my team better, because being the best player doesn’t mean anything if your team not winning.
Q: What have you learned during this unique time in 2020? What did you focus on or accomplish during Quarantine?
A: I learned that I like school better than sitting at home. I focused on being the best me and getting better every day. It also showed me how to be innovative at working out at home. Just because a Pandemic is going on, doesn’t mean I sat around and not do anything.
Q: If you could play in college, what would you choose to major in? What are your plans if football doesn’t work out?

A: There’s been a pretty few memorable plays, but one that stands out was when I had ran a 70yd interception back for a touchdown.
Q: What has been your biggest challenge and how do you manage it?
A: My biggest challenge is being more confident in my abilities when there is just as good or better competition. I would manage this, by working even harder every day, and asking the competition what do they do to get better.
Q: If you could compare yourself to a collegiate or pro athlete, who would that be and why?
A: I really haven’t compared myself to anyone. There’s a lot of great Wide Receivers out there. But, I would compare to a collegiate or pro athlete that carry themselves like a professional on/off the field.

A: My Mom and Dad.
