Student-Athlete Q&A
What made Liberty University the right place for you to attend college/compete at the collegiate level?
It was not so much that it was the right place, it was more because of my dad. He was doing his doctoral degree here and I was like hey why not do this for Liberty.
Is there anything special you do pregame or postgame and why?
I eat.
Who in your life inspires you and why are they such an inspiration?
Both my parents inspire me because my dad is in the military and so was my mom, and they both are in the government. They show me that if people above you don’t believe in you, but you believe in you, and God believes in you, it doesn’t matter what other people think.
What is your most memorable athletic moment/accomplishment?
I went to New England, and I won.
If you picked your jersey/uniform number, why is that number important to you?
I would choose 18 because I was born February 18
Favorite meal (breakfast/lunch/dinner) and what is that special meal?
Gozza is my favorite meal.
What is the first app you check on your phone each day?
The Bible Gateway app.
What is your favorite hobby outside of athletics?
Cologne is my favorite hobby.
Who was your favorite athlete growing up?
Aaron Rodgers
What is your Go-To karaoke song?
