1: What was the highlight of your 2024 football season?

The highlight of my season was playing a key role in helping my team advance to the second round of the playoffs. One of the most memorable moments was our comeback victory against Orangefield, where we overcame all odds to secure the win.

2. What was the biggest challenge you or your team had to overcome this season?

One of the greatest challenges we faced came in the first round of the playoffs, when we overcame a 21-point deficit. That moment truly reflected our team’s strength and unity, as we were able to stay composed under pressure and we refused to let the scoreboard dictate our focus or determination.

3. If you could give advice to an incoming freshmen football player, what would it be?

My advice is to stay true to yourself and always give maximum effort. Your size doesn’t define your impact; what matters is showing coaches why you deserve to be on the field.

4. If you could be a Superhero, which one would you pick and why?

Spider-Man. Spider-Man is my favorite because he can shoot webs and remains one of the most relatable superheroes, balancing everyday life while still having extraordinary powers.

5. If you had to go to an island and only bring 3 things, what would you bring?

I would bring clean water, a supply of food, and a highly intelligent person who could help strategize our survival and find a way off the island.

6. If not in the NFL winning the Super Bowl MVP, where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I plan to major in Kinesiology with the goal of becoming a physical therapist, either working with athletes or eventually opening my own practice.

7. What is your go-to pre-game pump-up song?

Truck Loaded by Gucci Mane

10. Why do you love football?
