1. What was the highlight of your 2021 football season?
The highlight of my season was when I caught my first catch of the season. It was a big one. One that I didn’t expect as a sophomore playing on varsity. My first catch came in the first game of the season and it was a 96yd TD! Set the stage for a big year.
2. What was the biggest challenge you or your team had to overcome this season?
Definitely getting a win over Manvel HS. Somehow it’s become our biggest rivalry over the past few years. We are the underdogs. Not only did we beat them once but again to knock them out the playoffs. Major.
3. If you could give advice to an incoming freshmen football player, what would it be?
Be serious about your craft and especially the classroom. Freshman year is important in laying the foundation for your GPA. A lot of kids are focused on just football and forget you can’t play if you don’t pass.
4. If you could be a Super Hero, which one would you pick and why?
Black Panther. He represents the culture and is all about family.
5. If you had to go to an island and only bring 3 things, what would you bring?
Phone, Charger, and hotspot.
6. If not in the NFL winning the Super Bowl MVP, where do you see yourself in 10 years?
I would like to stay around the game of football in some way if I can. Definitely being my own boss. Sometimes I think about establishing a trucking company. There’s always a need for that.
7. What is your go-to pre-game pump-up song?
Meek Mill Dreams & Nightmares
8. What is your favorite football or sports movie?
Remember the Titans
