What were my personal goals going into the 2023 season, and did I achieve them?

My goals during the season were to be better than I was last year and to produce more for the team. Yes, I achieved those goals.

Who was the best player I played against?

The best player I played against was the running back JoJo Starks from Mayfield.

What was it like playing for Coach Cunningham?

Playing for Cunningham was different because, from freshman to senior year, I had to go through three different head coaches, but honestly, I really liked Cunningham and the way he did things and how well he knew the game.

What do I believe my class left for the Murray football program?

I believe that we left something of tradition and expectations that they needed to live up to.

What were the highs and lows of the season?

The highs were playing as a family, playing as one on the field sometimes, and doing as well as we did with a new coach coming in when it did. The lows of the season were injuries.

What was the best part of the recruiting process?

The best part of the recruiting process was traveling and getting to meet new people and coaches from all over the place.

What was the worst part of the recruiting process?

The drive was the worst—just constantly sitting there in a car.

Can you share some of the schools that recruited you?

Union, KCU, Midway, Kentucky State, Birmingham Prep, and Florida Central.

What made you choose Union College?

I chose Union because they had good football, and the thing I wanted to major in was a 100 percent passing rate.

What position was I recruited for?

I got recruited to play defensive end.

What were your emotions when walking off the field the last time?

My feelings and emotions the last time were a lot of things, but I was thinking that it was my last time being on the field as a player and that the younger kids on the team had to fill in my footsteps.

What is your favorite type of music, along with your favorite song and artist?

My favorite music is rap. My favorite song is Great Gatsby by Rod Wave. My favorite artist is Rod Wave.

When you are back home from school, will you try to catch a Murray game?

Oh yeah, for sure, if I’m in town, I’m not going to miss the chance to see my guys play.

What will you be majoring in once you’re enrolled at Union?

I plan on majoring in nursing.
