What's been the biggest lesson that you have learned playing football?

Anything can happen in seconds.

What's been your biggest moment in a game?

Getting my first high school interception and watching the ball land in my hands.

Of the wins that you have been part of, which one has meant the most? Explain

This past win against marshal was an important one for me because it was make or break for our season if we won we made it to playoffs and if we lost my time as a senior at Whitehouse would’ve ended.

What is the strength of your game?

Being able to motivate people to push beyond their limits giving them the confidence to fight on 

From your freshman year to date, how have you grown as a player?

I’ve became more vocal and filled a role I felt was designed for me to fill since I was a child and bringing more positivity to the team. 

Which loss stung the most?

It was against Nacodogches of last year it was a game to get us into playoff and for me to continue playing with my seniors and we just couldn’t make that final push. 

What's been the best part of your senior season?

Just being able to suit up and play football.

Strong safety or linebacker: Which one are you best at?

I believe I’m better at playing safety but I know that I can  also impact the run a lot better if I come down and do the dirty work at linebacker.

Who was the best player you faced in a game, and what team was he on?

The best player I face would be  T Bone he played for Texas high one of our toughest games in our district. 

What makes you a good teammate?

I truly care for my teammates no matter what we could all get into a heated argument but once where all on that field together I just wanna see them be great,shine and win.

Could you please let the readers know some of the schools that recruited you?

The first school to ever recruit me was actually Mcmurry they saw something in me and decided to take the shot that day will always go down as one the best moments in my life and then the second was Howard Payne. After that Texas hit me up and invited me to come to one of their games so they could see me in person and after that it was Florida State my first ever big offer and ever since that day my grind and intensity for the game grew shortly after that I receive my second D1 offer from Texas Southern and then more schools showed me interest and game day invites started flooding in. Shortly after that Lamar also offered me and then the big one came Montana and after visiting out there and getting a feel for it I just knew it was the place for me to be at.

What made you choose Montana?

I chose Montana because they are a winning program and they also filled all the boxes for me 1 being that it’s really similar to home another one was that they showed my family love also and wasn’t just communicating with me but also my mom and sending her Mother’s Day cards and talking to her over the phone about recruiting. 

Outside of sports, what are you doing for fun?

Outside of sport I really like to go fishing a lot and just be outdoors I also like to play the game with my friend Kayden but other then that not much.

What is your favorite home-cooked meal?

I have two and that would be my nanas home cooked meatballs and my aunt Ashley’s chocolate cake. 

Dallas Cowboys or Houston Texans? Houston Texans
