Summary

I played football at Western Kentucky University where I have experience at cornerback, safety, and nickel. Before there I attended Navarro Junior College where I was a top DB in the nation. Receiving more than 20+ scholarship offers from across the country. I have been playing professional football in Mexico in the LFA. I have won awards this year as the Defensive Rookie of the Year while playing corner and nickel. I was the first American to win this award in the history of the LFA. I also have received first place votes for Defensive Back of the year. While here I have shown great leadership qualities while also giving back to the communities by going to different universities in Mexico and working with their football programs to enhance knowledge and skills of players and coaches. I want to give back to the youth and help guide men and help grow them into men of honor, respect, integrity, and accountability. While also pushing them to reach all their goals and helping them to obtain a degree/scholarship and taking many kids out of poverty situations. I feel my calling is to help mold young men into something greater. Motivational Defensive Coordinator adept at applying various coaching principles to improve athletic performance. Skilled in program organization, time management, and public relations. Offering 15+ years of expertise in playing experience . One year as a full time DC/Secondary coach.
