What do you want to do after graduation and why? Commission in the United States Navy as Surface Warfare Officer. I would like to be a SWO because of the teamwork and dedication it requires to get the job done on the ship.
Why did you choose Navy? I felt that the Naval Academy could offer me more than just a great education and FBS football. I saw myself being able to grow morally and become a better man in my four years at the Naval Academy.
What would you tell somebody that is considering coming to Navy to play football? Being a Navy football player isn't like joining any other organization. You will be joining a true Brotherhood, where everyone cares for one another.
If you could play another position, what position would you play and why? Defensive Tackle. I played defensive tackle my freshman year of high school but switched to the offensive line as a sophomore and I've been missing it ever since.
If you could choose any opponent for Navy to play that is currently not on the schedule who would you choose and why? I would like to play Louisiana State University because I have few good friends that I would like to compete against.
Favorite class at the Naval Academy and why? My favorite class would have to be Cyber Security 1 because I really got to go in depth on the subject.
Hardest class at the Naval Academy and why? Calculus 2, it's just a grind the entire semester.
Favorite teacher at the Naval Academy and why? Major Meents, he's a really fair professor who understands the struggle of being a Division 1 athlete at the Naval Academy.

Favorite person to follow on social media and why? My mother, because she is always posting good memories or motivational quotes.
Favorite sport to follow at the Naval Academy outside of football and why? Men's Basketball, because I have a lot of good friends on the team.
If you didn't play football at Navy, what sport would you play and why? Baseball, that was my other sport until I started focusing just on football.
If you had to be quarantined with four people associated with Navy Football, who would you choose and why? Maasai Maynor, Jayden Umbarger, Mychael Cooper and Malcolm Terry. All four of these guys have unique personalities which would keep our quarantine far from boring.
