WHY LINFIELD? Linfield has great academic classes/courses that are perfect for what I want to do as a career. The location is good for me, not too far from home but not too close. The football team is very competitive, and I will learn so much about how to be a better football player and person.
 
WHAT DOES BEING A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD MEAN TO YOU? To me, being a student athlete is just something that goes without saying. It’s a way to realize someone has the ability to multi-task and exceed in multiple fashions. Football is a privilege, if you cannot stay on top of it in the classroom, you don't deserve to play football.
 
HOW HAS PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON? Participating in sports my whole life has made me a complete person. Most importantly, they teach you how to work in a team as 1 unit. If one part of the machine fails, the whole team falls.
 
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS? In 10 years, I see myself in a management/coaching position at a high level football school/institution.
