Coachable

Versatile

Reliable

Experience:

After the third game of my freshman season, I became a starter. From that moment I had to learn how to manage my athletic and academic loads. Both school and football became more challenging and time-consuming. The athletes playing at this level were the best of the best. What separated me from them is the work I put in on and off the field. I wasn't satisfied with getting into Stanford and playing football. I wanted to be the best student and the best athlete. I held myself to a higher standard and continued bettering myself.

Experience:

From a young age, I had the goal of earning a full scholarship into any college of my choosing. That took an extreme amount of dedication as I pushed myself to accelerate in the gym, on the field, and in the classroom. I had a relentless drive to manage my time and dedicate myself to my studies and sport.  I knew I wanted to go to a prestigious university so I maintained straight A’s. I took every opportunity to compete in the classroom and football field to grow and improve.
