Student-Athlete Q&A

Why did you come to Liberty? Describe your recruiting Process
I chose Liberty because it felt like home. When I visited the campus, I immediately felt a connection. The coaches were really welcoming, and the facilities were top-notch. I had offers from other schools, but Liberty stood out. The academic programs aligned with my career goals, and the community was supportive. It was an easy decision for me.
Liberty was my best opportunity, I'm Christ-centered in what I do, I wanted to choose a school that obviously had Christ as their main focus, that mixed with the awesome staff and great facilities. I just felt Liberty was the best home for me.

How and when did you start playing football? Who helped get you into it?
I started playing football when I was about six years old. My dad was a big influence. He used to play in college, and he encouraged me to try it out. I remember going to the park with him and practicing. It was a lot of fun, and I just fell in love with the game. When I moved, I'm a military kid, when I moved from California. Kentucky and I realized that I started becoming a bigger kid. I still kept playing basketball, but I shifted my focus to football because everybody told me, my uncle, my father, my friends all around me, they all told me to get into football. 7th grade is my, my first tackle football year is actually what I played.

Is there a story about your family that maybe y'all have overcome a hardship or we've gotten closer because of this?
I'd say probably just military being a moving across the nation just as a child every 4 years you try to get comfortable in a place the second you're comfortable you gotta go. I'd probably say military aspect of the family.

How many schools do you think you went to growing up?
At least 10, at least 10, a lot of houses, probably 8 or 9 houses, just a lot, a lot of them are seen.

What branch and who was that in the military?
It was my father. He was in the Marine Corps.

Who are your parents' names and what they're doing now?
My mom, she's a stay at home mom now. Tracy Tremblay is her name, my father, he's done, he does home contracting, power washing, things like that, kind of retired, just for fun, make a little money. He's Paul Tremblay.

How about hobbies outside of football?
I play the guitar. I play video games, but besides that. I just hang out with friends. I have a good time.

What are you looking at studying at least here early on at Liberty?
I'm doing anything in sports, really. I play football, but I'm really good with numbers. I like to brag on that with guys. Probably the sports finance part of things. I want to stay connected with sports, I'm good with math and numbers, I think those two mesh well together.

How do you manage money in the NIL landscape do that?
Definitely investing. I'm already investing. I already have a Roth account. Awesome. We had a whole meeting. I think Liberty does an amazing job with, you know, life outside of football. We do that every Wednesday. They talk, bring people in, talk. About investing, about where to put your money. So I've just really been talking about that or listening, taking notes with that. I'm definitely setting aside way more than I'm spending. I want to be set up in the future and not just have money for college, but outside of college too.

How about any family members that played college sports or professional?
My sister, she played. Basketball at Center College to D3 in Danville, Kentucky, my uncle, he played at Virginia Tech. He's now the AD at JMU, that's gonna be a rivalry going into this season, he played at, he had a mini camp with the Vikings or that stint.
