I have spent my entire playing career overcoming the naysayers. I am not the biggest linebacker; however, I believe I have a high football IQ. I am a quick and willing learner. I am also very coachable. While I enjoy playing football and believe I perform well on the field, my biggest asset is that I’m a team player who focuses both on the field and in the classroom. While I pride myself on my play, I am equally proud of how I have performed in the classroom. I believe in the importance of academics because I will not be playing football forever.
