First of all, I am a natural-born leader. I am able to take control of game-time situations and lead the team to success through motivation and example. Also, I have an understanding of what every position does on every play, which allows me to make the right call depending on where the defense lines up and audible out of blocks. Not to mention, I have a 5.2 speed at 285 pounds; which makes me more than capable of making certain blocks that it'd be harder for somebody slower to make. Finally, I am a team-player and everything I do is for the best interest of the team. Selfish plays and individual achievements mean nothing to me if it puts our team at risk. After a loss, as well, I am the one picking my teammates up and keeping the positivity alive. All glory to God; without Him, I am nothing!

I like to play smart, fast, and physical. Making key blocks and doing what's best for our team are my main focuses. Great at picking up blitzes, getting off the ball, and driving my feet. Fire out low and hard, and create a hole for my backs. When running traps, counters, and powers, I am able to pull low and quickly to find the main threat and dig them out of the play.

My sophomore year I was brought up to varsity to start both ways at guard and defensive tackle. I was varsity-ready and excelled on both sides of the ball. However, there is always room for improvement. I'm never, and won't ever be, satisfied with where I am at; I am always looking to better myself. Therefore, I worked hard in the weight room and on my skills on the offseason, and ended up being a key part to our success junior year. I was selected as one of six offensive lineman in the SEC to be named 1st team all-conference. I also won my team's award for best lineman (voted on by players). My goal for next year is to make playoffs and to show to everyone that Monroe Trojan football is back in business. After two years of rebuilding with a new coaching staff and new offense, we are ready to surprise some people. Ford Field is definitely the ultimate goal for us all.

Playing football at the next level would be a privilege and an honor; not to mention, my dream! The sport of football is the absolute greatest there is. There's nothing that brings me more joy in my life than stepping onto that field with my brothers! I can't wait to see what the future holds for my football career. I believe I could be a great asset to many college teams in search of offensive linemen and/or leaders! I would give anything for the opportunity to play college football, and I will keep working every single day until that moment comes. After the fact, I plan on being a key part to a college team's success. Hopefully coaches will be able to see my potential and hunger to be successful!
