WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS AFTER HIGH SCHOOL? Play ball in college, get a degree in Business and go to law school. I toured UCA. It was a really nice campus so I’m pretty committed to UCA unless I get an offer from somewhere. Then I’ll think about it.
OTHER THAN YOUR PARENTS, WHO HAS HAD THE BIGGEST INFLUENCE ON YOUR LIFE? My brother; he taught me to kick.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT FOOTBALL? Just the bond that we all have. I’d do anything for these guys and know they’d do the same for me.
POSITION: Kicker, punter
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE SEASON SO FAR? I’m just glad we’re finally grinding. We’re doing our thing. I’m just glad we’re playing to our potential.
WHAT’S BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT TO THE SEASON SO FAR? The highlight for me was definitely that 48-yarder I hit last Friday night because I broke Jace’s record.
WHAT’S IT GOING TO TAKE FOR THE TEAM TO BE SUCCESSFUL THE REST OF THE SEASON? Our offense has got to keep playing like they’re playing. Our defense is playing fantastic. We’ve all just got to show up on both sides of the ball.
INDIVIDUALLY, WHAT ABOUT YOUR GAME ARE YOU MOST CONFIDENT ABOUT? Hitting long field goals; if it comes down to a game-winner, I think I’ve got it.
WHAT DO YOU WORK HARDEST TO IMPROVE? I’ve got to get focused. I’ve got to.
AFTER YOU’RE THROUGH PLAYING FOOTBALL AT BHS, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’LL REMEMBER MOST FONDLY ABOUT IT? I’m going to miss all the guys.
