Describe the 2016 Trinity season (4th consecutive 3A State Championship).
It felt great for me — as a freshman — to play on the team that won four straight championships. We had our difficulties throughout the season, but we came together at the end. I was mostly on JV this past year, but I moved up to varsity at the end of the season.
When did you start playing football?
I started in POP Warner football when I was seven years old.
Why do you attend Trinity, and in what grade did you begin?
I attend Trinity for the education and rigorous academics and the competitive sports programs. I transferred in as a freshman in 2016.
Where else have you played football?
I played in the NJSA and FVAA POP Warner football leagues before playing middle school and high school football.
What other sports do you play?
I am an outfielder and a pitcher for Trinity baseball. I played JV this past season, but I have a very good chance of moving up to varsity in 2018.
Describe your academic success and personal fulfillment at Trinity.
My academic success is very good. Every day at Trinity, I learn some new life and academic skills. My personal fulfillment goal is to get into a good college and play sports. My backup plan is working toward becoming a sports physician.
Where do you plan to play college football?
At this point, I plan to play for the University of Alabama.
What college teams have shown interest in you?
So far, Alabama and UCLA have shown interest and have made contact with me about potentially playing for them.
Do you have any siblings who play sports?
No
How much have your parents helped you in your football pursuit?
My parents help me a lot by paying for training and taking time out of their days to help me get to practice, training, and games. I will start driving soon, and that will help relieve some of the burden on them. They have never missed a game — even when it meant taking time off work to see me play. I am very thankful for the sacrifices they make for me.
Whom else would you like to thank for your success?
I would like to thank Coach [Verlon] Dorminey, the entire Trinity coaching staff, and all the college coaches and scouts who have seen me play and have confidence in my potential.
