Starting last season, my team and I won our first 5 games, which hadn’t been done since 2001. Aside from that, the biggest thing that sticks out to me is the impact the seniors left last season. They truly pushed us to work our hardest and helped me become the player I am. How long have you played football, and who or what got you started playing? I started playing in 7th grade for Jackson Middle School, and I had played other sports in the past, but I wanted to try a sport where I could use my size and be aggressive.

Now, I finally have the chance to help my team build a legacy. That’s been the mission all along, and this year, we’re ready to make it real. Does watching a local public school win the D-1 state title in 2024 motivate you more to help lead your team to the title? Without a doubt. Seeing a local public school bring home that trophy lit a fire in me. We’ve got the talent and the skill — now it’s about locking in, executing, and bringing it all together. That title is within reach, and we know it. How much easier is your job as a running back knowing you have a big, nasty line in front of you? It makes a huge difference. When I ...

I had some great friends and teammates in the class ahead of me, and my class is a very tight group with less than 10 players playing football. We had many hard-fought games that came down to the wire and managed to win some and lose some. Our record doesn’t define us because we are such a small school playing in a tough conference. The MOAC has very talented teams and players, and there was never a game where it was already won before the game was played.

We’ve been through a lot togethe...
