Athlete Bio

I am a 18-year-old senior at OCS and a dedicated multisport athlete. Throughout my high school career, I have demonstrated versatility, competing in football, soccer, baseball, golf, and track during my freshman year. As I continued to grow and refine my athletic abilities, I decided to focus more in my sophomore year, narrowing it down to football, soccer, and baseball. By my junior year, I concentrated solely on football and baseball, allowing more time to excel in both sports.

Beyond athletics, I am also a strong student academically, applying the same commitment in the classroom as I do on the field. My focus on growth and improvement, both athletically and academically, drives me to be the best I can be, and I’m ready to contribute at the next level.

My faith is a central part of who I am. I am active in my church and youth group, and my relationship with God gives me strength and purpose both on and off the field. I strive to live with integrity and work hard to honor God in everything I do.

Why I Want to Play Football

While I continue to develop my skills as a kicker and punter, the brotherhood of football has become one of the most important aspects of the game for me. As a specialist, I know my contributions can be critical to the team’s success, whether it's through field position or scoring points. Football has given me the opportunity to be part of something bigger, and I strive every day to be the best at my position to help my team achieve its goals
