......................................................................................................
Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“Yes, It is a thing in my mind constantly. The honor to play collegiate football is huge. I hope to play football, but I love basketball and Track and Field and any offer to play any sport in college would help accomplish my life goals.”
What colleges have been recruiting you?
“So far a few Division 2 and Division 3 colleges. I have talked to a few D1 subdivisions, but no signs of recruitment from that level. I need to keep focusing on the season and keep trying to prove myself coming from a small school to bring attention. As long as I play to the best of my ability I think I'll get my opportunity eventually.”
What school is recruiting you the hardest?
“So far no one specifically. Most of the D2 and D3 colleges have approached me equally. I know that I'm not the best option of recruitment but I know I can be successful at the college level. I just need to prove myself on the field, both on offense and defense. I have been approached by colleges for both sides of the ball as well.”
Have you made any college trips yet?
“Not yet, but I definitely hope to in the off-season.”
Do you have plans for game day trips?
“I do not yet. I have not been approached, and I do not think of it as a bad thing at all. It just means more time can be devoted to developing my craft at football. More to prove every day.”
Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“LSU and Colorado. I was born in Louisiana so I love LSU, but I lived in Colorado as a kid so I loved the University of Colorado. Now, I watch college football not for the teams I like but to watch college football. It’s very interesting the more you watch and you can point out differences and similarities between our offense and the specific colleges’ offenses.”
