Personal Statement

I am a 6’0”, 230lb defensive tackle/lineman at H.B. Plant High School in Tampa, FL. I am a Principal’s Honor Roll student with a 5.2 weighted/3.85 unweighted GPA and have received HSFA Academic All-American Honors.  Since the beginning of my High School football career, I have been a Varsity starter and have earned All-Academic, All-State, 1st-team and 2nd-team All-Conference and 1st Team All-County honors.  I am a dedicated and hard-working student athlete that is very coachable and adaptable.  I am a student of the game, and I am constantly working to improve my skills by studying football film (HS, college and NFL), working with skill-specific training coaches year-round at The Trench Academy in Tampa and applying their feedback in practices and games.  

When not playing football, I enjoy giving back to my community and have over 100 combined volunteer hours at Feeding Tampa Bay, Metropolitan Ministries and Clothes for Kids.  I also like spending time lifting weights, watching football and football film, listening to music, fishing and spending time with my family and friends.

My goals in college are to obtain a degree in Engineering or Architecture while making an immediate contribution to the success of a football program at the highest level of competition possible.
