“My sporting goals as of now is to become a State Champion in wrestling. I am working to make the dream into a reality. My goals in football are to continue to sharpen my skills by going to camps and working with Clutch Sports Performance to increase my speed and agility.”

I was happy with my junior year but hungry to get stronger and faster for my senior year.
