I have loved football for as long as I can remember and started playing flag football in kindergarten. I didn't play tackle until high school and am happy that I've been able to represent my school and serve my team as a Varsity starter since the middle of my sophomore season and continue growing and improving each year that I've played, while also developing as a multisport athlete by competing on my school's wrestling and track and field teams, two other sports that I didn't begin until high school. I credit my successes to my incredible coaches and teammates who I have developed a great bond with and who support me as a student and as a person as well as an athlete. It is important to me to have a college experience that will present that same opportunity.
