What has this opportunity to play in the UFL meant to you?

It has meant a lot. Has given me a chance to still chase my dreams of playing professional football. Put me around a lot of great people.

Best memory is winning, every game, the championship, nothing gets better than winning the big game!

What has the off season looked like for you?

Enjoying the married life, also I have been in recovery mode. Had surgery on foot from injury during the season.
