Student-Athlete Q&A
What made Liberty University the right place for you to attend college/compete at the collegiate level?
As an extremely indecisive person, the recruiting process was rough for me. But when I visited Liberty, a sense of peace fell over me that I can only explain as the Holy Spirit telling me I was in the right place.

Is there anything special you do pregame or postgame and why?
For pregame, I always braid my hair and do 6 tuck jumps before gametime to warm up my legs (my dad used to do this in college)!

Who in your life inspires you and why are they such an inspiration?
My parents are my biggest inspirations as they are constantly sacrificing for my siblings and I, and I long to be as hard-working as them someday.

Do you have any relatives who are playing or have played college or professional sports? (Names, relation to you, what/where they played)?
My father played football at Dickinson University.

Favorite meal (breakfast/lunch/dinner) and what is that special meal?
Breakfast! Egg white sandwich with a banana and some cold brew!

What is your favorite hobby outside of athletics?
Reading is my favorite hobby!
