Um , it's been times that I've wanted to quit and just having coaches in my area telling me to keep going , like , you'll get over , get over the hill , just keep going , trusting in you and trusting in God , and those are things that they've told me to just like keep going and push myself . Some of the challenges that I faced was uh injuries . I've dealt with injuries over the for a couple of years of football starting when I was younger in about 6th grade .
Um , we had like one way players , we didn't really have two way players , so that was pretty tough for me . And um my senior year was just tough because I didn't have any high recruitment and I didn't really have any offers so I had to push through that and um also me going to college um felt went through some adversity , um going to the D1 school and was just really underlooked coaches , uh , came in too late and stuff like that and now I'm in a , uh , I transferred to Youngstown State now where I guess that's like some adversity is entering the portal . Um , going through that , how I dealt with that , um , really spend a lot of time in prayer and doing stuff for myself , uh , putting in the work because you can't just pray and not have no works with it .
I'm really just never giving up and stay to stay true to your dream . Um , it's been times that I've wanted to quit and just having coaches in my area telling me to keep going , like , you'll get over , get over the hill , just keep going , trusting in you and trusting in God , and those are things that they've told me to just like keep going and push myself .

So I had put in a lot of work , put in a lot of time after hours , um , took recovery very seriously , eating habits , um , created a routine of my life , and that just brought me to where I'm at today .
Some people think that they should just keep working on skills that they are already good at , but then you're not getting any better at the things that you're weak in . So when I train on the field , I'll focus on things that I struggle in . I go back and watch my own film and see like what did I do bad and what do I need to work on , and that's what I really try to work hard on in the offseason .
