Do you have a certain athlete you aspire to be like or model your game after? I aspire to become my own idea of a dream athlete and be a leader.
What is your favorite memory of your time in school? My favorite memory is when one of my friends, Brody Buttry, fell off a counter while sleeping on it, and all we heard was a thump from a room over at the Sullivan football camp my freshman year.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve heard? The best piece of advice I've heard is “If it matters to you, you’ll find a way. If not, you’ll find an excuse.”
How has your sport shaped you as a person? I believe sports have taught me how to be a better person. I´ve learned discipline, giving effort no matter how you feel, and being able to brush off mistakes or accidents and get back up and be better. I've also learned about respect and how to interact with people and be more of a leader.
Favorite college or pro team? My favorite college team is probably the Florida Gators because my parents went to UF.
Do you have a teammate or coach who has been influential throughout your career? Instead of a coach or player, I'm gonna say my parents have been the most influential people in my sports career. They’re always giving me advice and trying to help me and going out of their way to make sure I'm successful.
Do you have a memorable win or accomplishment? The most memorable accomplishment to me is probably going to be the life skills and a lot of the things that are not always correlated with football that I´ve learned just by being on this team. I´ll always be able to use these skills, so I think that’ś one of my more memorable accomplishments.
Do you have any advice for underclassmen? One piece of advice I would give to underclassmen is, if you can't find a reason to practice and play hard and give 100% effort for yourself, do it for the upperclassmen because for many of them this is their last chance to ever play football again in their life.
Do you have any pregame superstitions? I have to listen to some kind of music before a game.
Do you want to play sports in college? I do want to play in college, but im still open to other options.
