Throughout my football journey, I've had many mentors who have played a pivotal role in shaping my development, especially during my time in middle school and high school. Coach Drew was one of my earliest mentors and the first real football coach I had. He provided guidance and encouragement to me and other young players as we entered the world of high school football. The personal connection I had with my coaches was crucial, and I learned that being authentic and true to myself was essential in building strong relationships with them. They not only taught me the do's and don'ts on the field, but also off the field, mentoring me about the fundamentals of the game and what it takes to excel at the next level. As I progressed through my high school years, additional coaches like Coach Brown and Coach Talley joined the team, imparting valuable knowledge and expertise from their experience coaching college players. Moreover, my head coach, Coach Monica, played a significant role in my development as a leader both on and off the field. These coaches didn't just focus on my skills as a player; they also took an interest in my character by reaching out to my teachers and other coaches to understand the type of person I was. Their guidance has profoundly impacted my journey in football and has helped shape me into the player and leader that I am today.

So it wasn't , I feel like it wasn't , it was a , a big change but it wasn't too bad cause the guys that I had around me that kind of helped guide me into what I needed to do and where I had to be up , I say for sure , like just for one being a great leader of the field . So kind of little guys up and the freshman that is coming in , freshmen are all the guys just giving guys words of encouragement and letting them know where they're wrong and how to fix it . So I feel like that's a big part of it .

Um It was kinda weird for me because once all of the culture started coming in , I started talking to coach , started getting office , then COVID hit around that time , like around the time where I was about to commit and looking at where I really want to be . So I would say the in-person um means that I have with coaches , I feel like the most important thing with that is just be yourself cause that's the only way you will really find your real home because if you're not yourself and you're acting like you're someone and then you get there and you're a completely different person that'll kind of throw the coaches off and throw your relationship off with the coaches . So I'll just say always be yourself and being recruited .

So just having them around , they showed me like the things that I should be doing and things that I shouldn't be doing on the field and off the field . And then I had a trainer .
