Who are some role models in your life?
My mom, brother, and dad. My mom is one of the hardest workers I know, and my brother has been like a father figure—he taught me almost everything I know about football. He’s had a huge influence on who I am today. I also want to thank my dad for introducing me to sports—he’s been a big part of my journey too.
What artists do you listen to pregame to get you hyped up?
I usually listen to rap—Chief Keef, Lil Uzi Vert, Drake, and Kendrick Lamar. But I also like to mix in some calm music to stay collected and focused before kickoff.
What are the strengths of your game?
I’d say my biggest strengths are my receiving ability and my versatility—I can be both a power back and an elusive back, depending on what the game calls for.
What is your favorite memory of your career?
Scoring an 80-yard touchdown against our rivals. That moment will always stick with me.
Who is the best player you have ever played with or against in your career?
Tate Wallace. He’s a 4-star recruit and one of the best players I’ve ever been around.
What is some advice you would give to an aspiring D1 athlete?
Work hard every single day to reach your goals, and take school seriously. Good grades matter just as much as talent.
If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I’ve always wanted to go to Texas. It seems like a fun place—and their football culture is second to none.
How old were you when you fell in love with the game?
I was nine when I started playing flag football, and that’s when I truly fell in love with the game.
If you could meet one sports hero, who would it be?
Saquon Barkley or Derrick Henry. They’re both elite running backs and huge inspirations to me.
What is your favorite sports moment as a fan?
Watching the Chiefs come back to beat the 49ers in the Super Bowl. I was with my family, and I bet on the Chiefs when everyone else gave up in the fourth quarter. I stayed locked in—and they came back and won. I’ll never forget that.
