WHY LINFIELD? I chose Linfield for its strong academics, culture, and a great group of guys.
 
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? Being a student-athlete means a lot to me because of its rich tradition and culture of excellence.
 
WHAT MAKES YOU INTERESTING AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE? I started playing football in the third grade, and I’ve played every position except quarterback, running back, and kicker.
 
WHAT’S THE BEST CLASS YOU’VE TAKEN AT LINFIELD AND WHY? My favorite class that I’ve taken is biochemistry because we got to learn about how your body works and some of the smallest levels.
 
WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INSPIRATION IN YOUR LIFE? My dad has been my greatest inspiration. He has demonstrated and taught me how to be the man I am today.
 
THE GREATEST PRINCIPLE OR LESSON I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS HAS BEEN… The greatest lesson I’ve learned while competing is that there is always a job to be done and ways to get to better.
 
AS A LINFIELD STUDENT-ATHLETE, MY GOALS INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY FOR MY TEAM ARE… My goals for the team are to make it back to the playoffs and battle our way through to make a deep run. My goal for me personally is to make the most of my last season and enjoy it before it’s gone.
 
WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? I hope to pursue a job in the medical field, and Linfield is helping me get a great education while getting to play the sport I love.
