What has football taught you about yourself or life?
It’s taught me not to quit. At first, I didn’t enjoy playing the sport because I didn’t like getting hit. Thankfully, my parents always told me and pushed me not to quit. With playing football, I just never quit. I look at life like that now, whatever you start you have to finish.
When did you begin playing and what motivated you to play?
I started playing football at three when they had flag football down here. What motivated me was that I just loved the sport and being outside with a ball in my hand.

I love that I get to hit people without getting in trouble!
What’s been the highlight of your football career?
When I was younger, I played running back. I ran to the wrong side of the field for a touchdown. I ended up turning all the way around and running to the right side of the field and scored without being tackled.
So you said you’ve played running back before. What other positions have you played and what’s been your favorite position to play so far?
