Growing up, were you inspired by any NFL Players?

Yes, Larry Allen. I loved watching YouTube videos of him and seeing how dominant and athletic he was during his NFL run.

What songs do you listen to pregame, to get you hyped up?

I listen to my brother Exodus Foisia who was an aspiring artist. Sadly we lost him in 2019 when he was only 19 years old. His music gets me hype and reminds me of the reason why I’m grinding. For him, for my family.

What is your offseason training like?

Crazy, it’s 7 days a week. The grind doesn’t stop. Powerlifting, strength, conditioning, position specific training, mental preparation. Sleeping and eating right is part of it as well.

What is your favorite memory of your career?

I appreciate every moment whether it’s a win or loss. I’m just blessed to be able to do this. If I had to choose one, it would be my first year playing football ever with the HA Pilots (10U). We won the Super Bowl and went on to the AYF Nationals. Complete underdog story.

Who is the best player you have ever played with or played against in your career?

The best player I’ve played with is Hinesward Lilomaiava. Bro is a beast and a playmaker. His work ethic and dedication is inspiring.

What is your favorite food?

Pizza

When did you realize you were talented at football? 

During my 12U year I felt like I came into my own and stepped into my passion and love for this game.

If you could meet one sports hero, who would it be?

Muhammad Ali, greatest fighter of all time

What is your favorite sports moment, as a fan?

When the Eagles beat the Patriots in 2018. I love a good underdog story.
