Student-Athlete Q&A
What made Liberty University the right place for you to attend college/compete at the collegiate level?
    I loved the university on my visit, and loved how I would be around like-minded people with similar beliefs and goals. The baseball program is also historically very good, and the facilities are top notch.
Is there anything special you do pregame or postgame and why?
    I always pray pregame for the Lord to protect me during the game to keep me safe and to let me have fun and enjoy the game. Postgame I again pray and give the Lord thanks for allowing to play in the game even if it was good or bad. Also, postgame I go over any footage I have of me playing and break it down.
Who in your life inspires you and why are they such an inspiration?
    My role model in life is my dad because he has sacrificed so much to get me where I am today, and he continues to do whatever he can to help me in any way possible. He learns information and sends it to me to help me become a better and more prepared player. He also, has shown me the right things to do and the example of a man I want to be.
