Hard-working Quarterback Has Big Plans Beyond School

I’m proud of: Being the first football player to ever score a point for the Liberty Christian Prep Lions in a home game. I ran it in to score against Countryside Christian on August 25. It’s our first year playing and it felt good to score and lead the team to our first touchdown.

Athletic accomplishments: I deadlift 365 pounds and bench press 225. I started weightlifting in 2022 and have a home gym. A lot of the football team comes over and we work out and lift together.

Favorite school subject: English.

My closest friends describe me as: Hard working. Disciplined. Funny. Charismatic.

Football teams I cheer for: The Florida Gators and Miami Dolphins.

Outside school I spend the most time: Working! I have my own landscape company, which I started in 2022. I usually work a 10-to-12-hour day every Saturday. 

My future plans: I plan to work as an apprentice under an electrician and then become a licensed electrician.

To me, one universal truth is: The 10 Commandments in the Bible.

If I could change one thing overnight: I would change how some people see themselves as victims and think they can’t do something. 

My message to the world: Don’t give up!
