About Me

Growing up in Americus, GA, I had a lot of built-up anger that I kept inside. When my mom took me to rec football tryouts, the coaches asked me to hit a tackling bag. I hit it so hard it flew. That moment made me realize football could be my outlet. Tackling became my passion—it let me release stress and feel appreciated through the cheers.
I started playing at 5-6 years old and always picked up the game quickly. Moving to Atlanta for high school was nerve-wracking, but I made my mark by hitting the senior everyone feared as a freshman. From then on, I always started.
By senior year, I had viral clips, coaches praising me after every game, and earned 2nd Team All-Region honors. Even though I felt snubbed, I was grateful. Football taught me discipline, gave me confidence, and became a key part of who I am.
