Football.

5. Can you tell us a bit about yourself? Where did you grow up? Anything you feel we should know?

I grew up down South, not too far from here. I like playing football and I’m a nice guy.

I can’t really say what started it, but I just tried it. I loved it after that and I’ve been playing for nine years.

7. Do you have any special things you do before games? Any traditions?

I just pray before a game and that’s it really.

8. Who do you look up to and why?

Yes, one time. It was a hard day of practice. That was right after the Columbus loss and that was that Tuesday when they just dogged up. It was just crazy.

If I don’t become a professional athlete, I want to try to be a sportsman.

Don’t let anyone tell you what you can’t do. If you love it, give it your 150 percent and run with it.
