About Me

When I was in first grade, I joined the Goodlettsville Trojans Pee Wee football team. Football stuck out to me and became my favorite sport right away. It helped me learn the value of hard work, discipline and perseverance. I was diagnosed with ADHD at six years old and struggled with academics, speech and vision difficulties, and bullying by other kids. Thanks to my parent's support and using football to channel my energy, I overcame those struggles to be the person I am today.

As a junior I achieved the starting varsity left tackle position for the Beech High School Buccaneers. The fire was lit inside me to succeed and to play at a higher level to win even more than ever. After speaking to my parents about my goals, sought out a private lineman coach and joined National Playmakers Academy (NPA) to help refine my football skills to help me perform for my high school team. I attended Football University's Top Gun Showcase in Naples in July 2020 where I got a taste of all the talent and competition out there. I became even more determined to put in the work to achieve my goal. After the 2020 football season ended, I continued training in the off season with Leverage Lineman and NPA with competition football and spring camps to help me stay competitive and further develop my skills to be ready for summer camps and my senior year. 

After a lot of thought and consideration for my goals and my future aspirations, I made the decision to join the IMG Academy Varsity football team for the Fall 2021 season. I achieved the starting Left Tackle position for the Varsity White team. We finished 10-1 and were the SSIA state championship runner-up. I loved my team and was blessed to be a part of a successful program where I was challenged and prepared for the college athletic and academic level.

To compete at the college level, I'm looking for a program that will continue to challenge me to not only be the best at my position, but to contribute to the success of the team as a whole. My focus in life is to sacrifice and work hard for the things I want. Success is within the grasp of those who are willing to do what it takes, and I am that person who wants more in life and is willing to sacrifice to get there. I am also focused on my academics and finding a career in mechanical engineering or a sports related career that I will enjoy and be able to give back to others who like me had a dream and a passion for life and their goals. I am a player who is coachable and will give you all they got and more.
