What is your greatest football moment?
My greatest moment in football was playing Napa High in the first round of playoffs. We did not win the game but I had scored 5 toughdowns that game out of the total 6 TD's scored. That was the third game of the season that I had scored 5 TD's in a single game. This season was the best season of football that I have ever experienced.
What teams recruited you the most out of HS and what schools extended scholarship offers?
Montana State was the main competitor with ISU. But when I went on my visit to Idaho State, I fell in love with the University and the coaching staff. I called Montana State the day I got back and said that I was going to commit to Idaho State. Later that week I had Sacramento State come through and talk about offering but I had my mind set on Idaho State well before they even came into the picture. Montana State and ISU were the only two to extend scholarship offers prior to that. I have to say Coach Z. was way more professional and impressive than the staff at Montana State. I am looking forward to playing against both Montana State and Sac State in the years to come.
What Bengal coach did the primary recruiting for you?
Coach Amrine. He is funny and full of energy. GREAT GUY!
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 and I loved that. and the players are all welcoming just treated me like I was already part of the family.
What position do you see yourself playing for the Bengals?
WR...Coach Miller has talked to me and seems to be really excited with the way I play and I look forward to getting the opportunity to play at the college level.
What do you need to work on the most to play at the college-level?
Weight and speed are my two biggest goals. I want to be down to a low 4.4 forty by the time season starts and I would like to gain another 15 to 20 pounds.
What is the greatest attribute that you bring to Bengal football?
My ability to be a team player and contribute in any way possible. I will work my ass off in whatever I do.
Do you have anything that you would like to say to fans of ISU?
To the fans of ISU, keep up all the support. Its really great to see such support in the program that I am about to enter and start a new life in for the next four to five years.
