Class of 2027 | Student Athlete
Football: Running Back / Athlete
Track & Field: Sprinter
I am a dedicated multi sport athlete from Licking Heights High School competing in varsity football and track & field. As a running back and sprinter, I take pride in my explosiveness, discipline, leadership, and work ethic. I push myself every day to become the best athlete, teammate, and person I can be while preparing to compete at the collegiate level.
Outside of sports, I work at Smoothie King, which has helped me grow in responsibility, communication, and accountability. I am also the oldest of seven siblings, a role that has taught me leadership, maturity, and the importance of setting the right example for those around me.
My faith and relationship with God are very important to me, and I take great pride in my religion and going to church. I believe faith, discipline, and consistency are a major part of who I am both on and off the field.
Ever since I was little, I have dreamed about competing at the highest level in football or track. Going to college means more to me than just athletics. It is an opportunity to show the world who I am, continue building toward the career I want, and turn everything I have spoken about and believed in as a kid into reality. I do not want to just talk about my goals anymore. I want to live them out through hard work, dedication, and action every single day.
