What is your greatest football moment?
My greatest football moment was scoring the first touchdown of the season for the team, we ended up winning that game in double overtime, it was a great moment because 2 days before my Grandma had passed and for the season on my wrists I had wrote "4U" on my left and "G-MA" on my right..
What teams recruited you the most out of HS and what schools extended scholarship offers?
Washington Huskies really recruited me, but never seemed to extend that scholarship I was hoping for, as well as Montana State, I really felt like they were going to offer as well but after the end of December had past and they did not step up with the offer, so with that I weighed my options and ISU was always there. I ended up committing to ISU..Other than that ISU was the biggest school, obviously
, I couldn't be any more happier with the decision I made.
What Bengal coach did the primary recruiting for you?
Coach Drew Miller.. He's a great person and coach.
Why did you commit to Idaho State?
I committed because I felt like ISU coaches really wanted me to play there, and that feeling was greater than any other. The coaches seem really like up tempo like coaches. I love that. and the players are all welcoming. I also love Pocatello, it is a place I don't mind spending my time at for the next 4-5 years
What position do you see yourself playing for the Bengals?
Defensive End. That is the position the coaching staff has recruited me at and I couldn't be happier.
What do you need to work on the most to play at the college-level?
Speed I am looking to be faster and more agile to better myself for the college level
What is the greatest attribute that you bring to Bengal football?
My willingness to do whatever it takes, and whatever is best for the team.
Do you have anything that you would like to say to fans of ISU?
To the fans of ISU, keep supporting the program, everyone is working hard from the coaching staff to the players, They are working their tails off in the weight room and doing whatever it takes. ISU football is a great program with great players and coaches. Keep supporting the program!!
