Kind of a background for everyone who May not know he played at Mount Olive High School Um LED them to the very brink of the State championship I won't I won't Rehash that because coach D talks about It all the time so uh you know and um uh But obviously let a pro a program you're The quarterback there and I think that's Something we should talk about because a Lot of kids play quarterback and they Think that's where they have to play in College and you end up playing Linebacker in college and now is on onto The to the NFL and um you know make it Making those dreams come true and uh and Fighting right fighting every day for uh Um to continue to stay to continue to Compete and be an NFL player Um tell you know everybody a little bit About kind of your your journey yeah so I'd say it's a pretty unique one it's Not like a typical you know football Story I was a I've considered myself you know like a Baseball player first up until like my Senior year in high school Um I had like you know We didn't have the best of the seasons My junior year Um but like I showed some flashes on Tape and that's when like colleges Started to notice a little bit Um and then my senior year we kind of we
Had a really good off-season uh we Really bought into the program and Bought into each other and uh all the Hard work and we kind of had a a Breakout year Um obviously yeah you said like we came Up short in the uh State final but Um that's what kind of put me on the map As a prospect Um particularly as a quarterback I Thought myself of first but when school Started reaching out and they said oh we Like you at uh safety I didn't really Care about like what position I was Going to be playing I just love football And so for me it was just deciding the Best you know uh situation the best School for me in terms of what I was Prioritizing at that time which was you Know great football Um and then just quality of academics And so Um Came down to a couple schools but in the End Holy Cross was the best decision for Me Um they wanted me to go in and play Safety so my freshman year I went in There and it seemed like they kind of Had a plan of me all along moving the Linebacker because it wasn't long before I got moved into that room and I was you Know a skinny Buck 190 pounds and I was I quickly had to put on some weight
Um but it was just you know uh For the Love of the Game I didn't really care What position I played Um and I'm thankful for you know Mount All for putting me in the position to be Able to be recruited by them Um I think a lot of it had to deal with That I played multiple Sports and not Just I was you know like a quarterback First and foremost and then I also Happened to play safety Um the reason why I got recruited there Was because you know they saw my Athleticism at on defense Um as well as you know other sports that I played and so that's what kind of got My foot in the door and then from there You know the rest is history in terms of Me getting to play linebacker there
