I usually listen to a wide array of music before games, but I always listen to Dreams and Nightmares last before every game.

My favorite memory of my football career would be when I got my first offer from Duke. My brother was a track athlete there and it was crazy for them to be my first offer.

If you could meet one sports hero, who would it be?
If I could meet one of my sports heros it would have to be Steph Curry. I’ve been a huge basketball fan since I was in elementary school and he’s always been my favorite player. Curry was even my nickname for a year in middle school because I looked just like him.
What is your favorite sports moment, as a fan?
My favorite sports moment as a fan was the Kick Six by Auburn against Alabama. It was just the craziest play that could have happened after they put more time on the clock and it kept Auburn’s championship hopes alive.
