My best game was against Hopkins. I had 3 tackles for losses from the corner spot, an interception, and a 91 yard KR touchdown of which I give all the credit to my blockers who consistently do the dirty work.

Why are sports/education important to you?
Sports are important to me because they teach me life lessons day in and day out. Sports bring out leadership as well as the role of being a part of a team. Education is important because it's power. You may lose everything one day but with a good attitude and a high level of education you will be able to create opportunities for yourself.

What can you do to make yourself better in your sport?
To make myself better at football I lift, run, sleep and eat well. The most important thing for me being a DB is footwork so that's something I really focus on. Also the mental aspect of the game.. being able to study a quarterbacks or a WR's bad habits and create situations to exploit them.

What is your dream college?
My dream college is wherever I sign with in February. Right now I'm pretty open and don't really have a standout favorite.

If a College Coach ask you, how can you make our team better, what would you say?
I'd tell him I can make the team better by leading by example, by working hard, and being passionate about the game. Hard work, hustle, and energy are all contagious and I feel that I bring those key things to each practice, lift, and game.

What advice can you give other student-athletes?
The recruiting process is exciting but make sure you put your High School teammates first.
