WHY LINFIELD? I loved the culture of excellence on the football team and I thought the campus was beautiful. 
 
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? Being a Student-Athlete at Linfield means being excellent on and off the field. A well-rounded individual who excels in all aspects of life, not just sports. 
 
WHAT IS NEXT AFTER LINFIELD? ?I want to become a coach for football and wrestling as well as a personal trainer. Being able to compete in those sports at a higher level helps me to gain knowledge and experience valuable to those trades. Studying exercise science helps teach me the mechanics of the sports I am helping. 
 
WHAT IS THE BEST CLASS YOU HAVE TAKEN AT LINFIELD? The best class I’ve taken at Linfield was Athletic Prevention and Care of Injury because it was the most relatable to myself as a student-athlete and I found the content to be quite intriguing. 
 
WHEN NOT COMPETING IN SPORTS OR STUDYING FOR SCHOOL, I LIKE TO SPEND MY TIME…Watching movies. 
 
THE GREATEST LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN…To put the team first. Our program has been developed over years of talented, smart and dedicated athletes and it is my job to uphold and propel the expectations and reputations of past generations that have created the infamous streak. 
 
WHAT HAS BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR LINFIELD ATHLETIC CAREER THUS FAR? The highlight of my Linfield career was beating Whitworth at their home field in overtime during my sophomore year.
