The 5th game into my freshman season, I became the starting quarterback. That first game helped me grow in maturity and fueled my desire to play football at the division 1 level. I continued to start as a freshman and was fortunate enough to finish out the season ranked top five in all county passing yards with 1089 yards. In addition, I was invited to play in the FBU Freshman All American Bowl, where I threw 12 for 15 completions, and one of seven freshmen to attend and compete in the National Combine in San Antonio, Texas. As a sophomore, I transferred to St. Thomas Aquinas In Fort Lauderdale, Florida, anxious and excited to play at the 7A level. Having the opportunity to play with future division 1 athletes only fueled my fire to work even harder to achieve my goals. Sharing the field with teammates such as Derek Wingo, Marcus Rosemy, Marcus Dumervil, and Tyreak Sapp, to just name a few, was both invigorating and humbling. I learned the value of teamwork, commitment, and perseverance. I also realized what new goals I need to set for myself, and that my work-ethic needs to remain strong. In January of 2020 I attended the National Combine in San Antonio, Texas for a second time and improved my scores in every event. For personal reasons, I returned to Naples to finish out my Sophomore year. As a junior, and the starting quarterback for Barron Collier High School, I finished the regular season #1 in the state of Florida for passing yards, 6A schools. For the first time in 22 years Barron Collier made the playoffs, and for the first time ever we beat Fort Myers in the first round. Needless to say, it was a memorable season! All in all, these experiences have helped me grow as a young man, a student, and an athlete. I am determined to become a leader who sets the bar by example. I’m looking for a program that will help push me athletically, as well as academically. Given the chance, I am confident that I can make a difference.
