Post a small recap of last season with personal highlights and any other big moments you have and memories you have from last season, whether it be a game, the bus ride to or from the game, or any other thing that sticks out.

The biggest memories for me were getting two sacks against Dubuque Senior and beating three-time defending state champs, Southeast Polk, at our house. That was tough.

What will you miss the most from the 2025 class?

My teammates are Denzil, TY, Q, Roby, Jace, Beck, Beatty, and Eash. They were playmakers and led the team through a tough schedule.

What is the best part of being a student-athlete at Prairie High School?

The resources, the administration, and my classmates. The administration gives us everything we need to be successful in the classroom and on the field. Our fans are really supportive of all our teams.

What is the most enjoyable part of playing safety?

I like calling the coverage and being able to see everything from the safety spot. Breaking on balls and flying up in run support.

What is the toughest part of being a safety?

Making sure I make the right call in coverage and taking on 270 lb linemen in run support.

What has been your biggest accomplishment as a football player?

I’d say starting as a sophomore in 2023.

What is your game day routine?

Make sure I have my gallon of water, eat a good breakfast, stretch in the morning, and make sure I try and have a good day, so my focus is on the game when school's over.

Do you have any game day superstitions?

I’m not really superstitious; it’s kind of the same routine for each day during the school year.

What will it take for Prairie High School to make it to the dome?

Everyone needs to be accountable. Every rep in practice has to count.

Show up on time and compete every practice and handle business in school.

Would you rather kick off the season with your rival, or play them in the final week of the regular season?

Playing our rival to start the season sets the tone from the jump.

What is the strongest part of your game?

Being able to support the run and tracking the ball in the air.

What makes you a good teammate?

I always try to push my teammates to be the best they can be and just lead by example.

Why should a college coach recruit you?

I’m a good teammate, I’m a good student, and I’m going to give you everything I’ve got. I have good speed, and I’m athletic. It’s a physical game, and I know I’m tough enough to play the game.

What is your favorite type of music?

RB

What is your dream vacation spot?

Bahamas

Which state would you like to visit for the first time?

California
