I'm originally from Canton, GA, but spent my senior year of high school in St. George, UT. I am passionate about giving to people less fortunate than me and insirpring the youth to chase their dreams. When I'm not playing football, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, eating at my favorite restaurants, and making music.
Making music, acting, video games, and fashion.
