I especially watch the players, teammates and friends of mine that have left Bristol Prep Academy and pursued a football career in the NCAA already. Players such as Toby Naylor and Jairo Faverus. There are even a few players from Bristol that are currently playing in the NFL.

How has football affected your life?

Football has also helped me to learn how to motivate myself to achieve my goals. Football has taught me that with commitment and a good work ethic, I can achieve anything.

Why should a team recruit you?

• A team should recruit me because I’ve got a lot to prove with the talent I have on the field. I’m excited to show scouts that Europe has serious talent in this sport. I’m determined to reach the next level and put the work in to get there on and off the field.
