What do you want to do after graduation and Why? I want to be a Marine. After completing Leatherneck, I can see myself becoming an even better leader as a Marine Corps officer. Marines carry themselves differently. They have a tough mindset and I feel like the culture will best fit me.
Why did you choose Navy? I chose Navy because it was the best opportunity for me to play FBS football and get a degree from a prestigious school like the Naval Academy. I knew going here would set me and my future family up for life.
What would you tell somebody that is considering coming to Navy to play football? I would tell them about the bond we have here. We call it the Brotherhood. It's a bond that will never be broken and a bond that will continue as we graduate and serve our country. If you get an opportunity to come here, do it. We love each other, we will go to war with each other, we have courage, we have toughness and we have trust in each other.
If you could play another position, what position would you play and why? I would love to play defensive back or striker, because in high school I played both. It was fun making tackles and intercepting passes. Don't let my size fool you, I was a playmaker on defense.
If you could choose an opponent for Navy to play that is currently not on the schedule, who would you choose and why? The University of Miami! It's my hometown team that I grew up watching. Playing against the University of Miami in Miami would be a blessing as all of my family members could go to the game.
Hardest class at the Naval Academy and why? Probability with Naval Applications, because this class is not like any math course I have taken before. It challenged me to think outside the box and approach each problem not like a regular math problem.
Favorite form of social media and why? Instagram, Twitter and TikTok. They all are entertaining to me.
Favorite person to follow on social media and why? Inky Johnson, because everything he posts about on social media is motivation to me and he keeps me going. Also Kai Cenat is a person that makes me laugh. Finally, my dad always sends me videos of Kobe Bryant speeches on how he approached the game and life. His quotes are motivating and I recommend people to listen to some of them.
If you could have dinner with any four people at the Naval Academy who would you choose and why? This is pretty hard to choose and there is no way I could cut it down to four people so I would say all the snipes. These guys make me laugh every single day and it just makes my day better being around them.
Favorite sport to follow at the Naval Academy outside of football? Men's Basketball
If you didn't play football at Navy what sport would you play and why? Baseball, because that was my other sport growing up.
What is your dream vacation? Dubai or Jamaica
What is the best thing about being in the American Athletic Conference? The competition
Favorite Coach Newberry Saying: "It's all about trust. All the little things matter."
How would you describe Coach Cronic's Offense?: Explosive, this offense is going to shock people. This offense is going to cause headaches and I love Coach Cronic's mindset of attacking the defense.
How would you describe Coach Volker's Defense?: They are crazy over there, they are going to cause some headaches
One word to describe a Navy football player? I will give you four. Grit, Determination, Discipline and Character.
Who will be the surprise player on offensive in 2024 and why? Myself, because this offense is my best opportunity to showcase who I am.
Who will be the surprise player on defense in 2024? Kyle Jacob
Who is the toughest player on Navy Football and why? Every single player.
What player epitomizes Navy Football and why? I can't pick a single player, it is every single player on this team because of our work ethic and love for the game.
