Who are some role models in your life?
I have a few role models. One is Terrion Arnold and he plays for Alabama. He set the bar high for a lot of kids in North Florida. He was a 5 star recruit and a Freshman All American. Raylen Wilson who’s also a 5 star recruit and a freshman at Georgia. I know he’s going to the next level! Last but not least Travis Jay. He comes from the same town I come from (Greenville FL). I’ve watched him win high school championships not only in football but basketball too. He’s one resilient person. Everyone I mentioned I’m sure will be in the league.
What artists do you listen to pregame, to get you hyped up?
J Dot, NBA YoungBoy and Real Boston Richey. They aways put me in that mode before a game.
What are the strengths of your game?
The strengths of my game on defense are physicality, cover skills, being able to press, man to man and being able to play off in zone. I think my IQ is exceptional for an incoming freshman. I know I can play varsity right now just off of play recognition alone.
What is your favorite memory of your career?
My favorite memory of my career is getting a chance to play in the UA 8th Grade All American game.
Who is the best player you have ever played with or played against in your career?
The best players I’ve played with in my career so far are Caden Collier and my Cousin Jason McDaniel (JJ). Both players always set the standard on the field.
What is some advice you would give to an aspiring D1 athlete?
I would tell them they have to work on being a student first and then an athlete second! A champion in the classroom and a champion on the field. Nothing in life comes easy and if you want something you always have to work hard for it.
If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I would go to Bora Bora. I would love to train on their island.
How old were you when you fell in love with the game?
I can remember as far back as two years old me playing football dress up with all the gear. I even had a towel and a kicking tee. I remember going to Madison County High School football practices with my dad to watch my brothers and uncle play.
If you could meet one sports hero, who would it be?
It would definitely be Deion Sanders
What is your favorite sports moment, as a fan?
When I went to the Florida State vs Miami game in 2017. Miami scored on a fade ball to win the game with 8 seconds left on the clock. That game was intense and just being in that atmosphere that night made me want to go out there and play.
