Yes. I would say our homecoming game last year. We played Ellender High School. It was a back and forth game, but we ended up winning. It was probably the best game I have ever played. I threw for 320 yards, had five passing touchdowns, and had 100 rushing yards. I even had a rushing touchdown.

I would tell them to just work as hard as they can as no one will give you handouts. Everything you do must be earned. Enjoy it all while it lasts.
What would a college program be getting out of you and what are you looking for in one?
I would bring leadership, hard work, and determination. I’ll always give my best. What I am looking for in one is one that will always help me succeed on and off the field.
