I have set my goals high and would love to play D-1 football, I am open to any school that is willing to give me a shot at achieving my dreams of getting a college degree and playing college ball. I feel that I have alot to offer as a player and student. I have been playing football since the 5th grade, and I have been able to improve every year. I would be willing to learn any position, and I am not afraid of hard work, I know that it pays off. I am very close to my mom, dad, brother, sister and grand-parents. I would love to play somewhere close enough for them to come see me play, but my family supports me fully no-matter where I end up going to school.
