His senior year he was moved to offensive guard and his team made it all the way to the 2012 State Champions for Division 5. His senior season was “quite an exciting achievement.

“I thank my family for being behind me every step of the way and supporting me in everything I do. I also thank my coaches for developing me into the player I am today and know that without them I wouldn’t be here. I thank my teammates, because they have always had my back and they are the reason why I have been a part of winning the 2012 State Championship for Division 5, which has been a dream come true for me.”
