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

The UFL has given me the opportunity to be in and around the game of football; something I love. Being around a great group of guys, that love to have fun but also enjoying the process of winning.

Best memory from being a part of the Stallions?

Best memory for me is setting the USFL 2022 Championship trophy in the Hall of Fame with Victor Bolden. A special moment to be a part of history. 

What has the off season looked like for you?

My offseason has been special, as a first-time dad. My son Jaxon is so special to me and brings me so much joy. I get to spend time with him and bring him to the field, when I’m running around.

Tell us something we may not know about you. Hidden talent(s)?

I like to play the guitar in my spare time. I started playing in high school for a class, when I needed another art/music credit. It’s been a while since I’ve played seriously but recently started back up so I can play some songs to my son. 

Give us a Coach Holtz memory.

A great memory for me was when Coach Holtz and his coaching staff in 2014, came to my dad’s house in Meridian and offered me a scholarship - giving me the opportunity to play football and baseball at Louisiana Tech. A lot of people pulled their offers my senior year so it felt like I had a family with them.
