As a Baseball Catcher and First Baseman, I catch everything that is thrown to me. This translates well for me as a tight end in football. Put the ball in my catch radius, and it's caught. Also, I look for the contact and don't run away from it. I want to engage the hit as a Tight End for additional yards after catch. Finally, I'm a student of the game and know where I'm supposed to be on the field and when that should happen.

Quite simply, Team! I care about my teammates and representing my school in a first class manner at all times. I can catch, hit, respond and grow from coaching, but for me, it's about being a part of a team.

As I head into my Senior season at one of the premiere football programs in the State of Michigan, namely Saline High School, I look forward to continuing the winning tradition that Coach Joe Palka and many before me started. We are looking to go further than any previous team before us, and with Quarterback CJ Carr throwing to me and my teammates, there is no doubt that we will get that opportunity

In addition to the academics and business programming that I am looking forward to at the college and university level, I want college athletics, and especially football, to be one of the cornerstones of my college experience. I want to be involved at my university, and in addition to the various business programming honorariums that I will be a part of, college football gives me the opportunity to stay involved in a sport that I love, as well contribute to the success of my school.
