OTHER THAN YOUR PARENTS, WHO HAS HAD THE BIGGEST INFLUENCE ON YOUR LIFE? Definitely my brother and my grand dad. My grand dad’s been like the father figure and my brother has too, just because he’s older.
FAVORITE THING ABOUT FOOTBALL: Game day, definitely.
POSITION: Corner.
WHAT DO YOU FEEL LIKE IS YOUR PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY ON THE FIELD? Pass coverage.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE SEASON SO FAR? I think we’re doing good. I think if we keep playing focused like we did at Texarkana we’ll definitely finish up.
WHEN THE TEAM’S DOING WELL, WHAT’S IT DOING? Everyone’s doing what they’re supposed to do. You can always tell on film, if something goes bad, it’s because one or two people messed up. It’s not because everyone did something bad.
WHAT'S BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT TO THE SEASON SO FAR? Beating Benton, for sure. I haven’t gotten beat deep yet. I haven’t done anything too bad or messed up or anything.
WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE FOR THE TEAM TO BE SUCCESSFUL THE REST OF THE SEASON? Keep practicing hard like we do and staying focused.
INDIVIDUALLY, WHAT ABOUT YOUR GAME ARE YOU MOST CONFIDENT ABOUT? Protecting against the pass, for sure.
WHAT DO YOU WORK HARDEST TO IMPROVE? I like to work hard on my run coverage because I haven’t always been that aggressive. So I try to work on that during practice so I can get it right in the game.
AFTER YOU'RE THROUGH PLAYING FOOTBALL AT BHS, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'LL REMEMBER MOST FONDLY ABOUT IT? Just, I guess, the teamwork and the camaraderie between everyone.
