Accomplishments & Impact
What would you say is your biggest accomplishment in your athletic career so far, and what did it take for you to achieve it?

I feel like my biggest accomplishment that I’ve achieved so far is my confidence I’ve struggled with it my sophomore season and also as a person but me having to go against those battles helped me find my confidence and finding my spark again. 

 

 

Role & Identity as a Player
How would you describe your playing style, and what separates you from other athletes in your sport and your position?

I describe my playing style as very physical, explosive, and fast I feel like my abilities separates from other athletes because once I snap into it I’m locked in and I’m ready to finish whatever is put in front of me. 

 

 

Development Curve
What is one area of your game you’ve significantly improved over the past year, and how did you develop it?

Two of them is my speed and my vertical I know whenever I visualize my opponent on the field I read them and I attack them with my speed if I know I can beat someone down field I’m using my speed all night, facts over feelings I know I’m vertical challenged I know for a fact how high I jump takes fro my height any tall wideout I see I know I have to pull out my vertical to make a play.

 

 

Adversity & Resilience
Tell us about a challenge or setback you’ve faced in your career. How did you respond, and what did you learn from it?

A very challenging thing I’ve had I to go through was my anger it’ll be days where I’m not at my best and it’s ticking me off and I’m not performing at my best I get very emotional at some times I’ve had therapy sessions on my anger and I knew I had to have someone to tell me that we are human things will happen and I’ve improved by not letting little things I can fix bring me down and controlling the controllable , a setback was going through my knee problems and pushing through it every game one thing that really helped me on that was stretches and exercises I do throughout my day.

I see myself in a fraternity or getting my CDL’s but honestly I see myself on tv making my family proud but it’ll take 1 step at a time to get to where I want to be.

 

 

Football IQ & Leadership
How do you contribute to your team beyond your physical performance—whether that’s leadership, communication, or understanding the game?

On and off the field  communicate with my team especially my skill guys every chance that I can get I’ll get them to meet up and have a little training session in or in school if I see a teammate of mine in a altercation or anything I’ll be the one to be there for them.
