Best football moment: “It’s when in my tenth-grade year we almost made it to the states.”
Role model: “My stepfather and [Milford Mill head] coach [Reggie] White. My stepfather because he’s been there for me all this time and he really didn’t have to -- he’s not even my father.

Why Maryland? “I always wanted to go to Maryland when I was young. I just wanted to stay close to home, really. Maryland, it’s a good football program and academic program, so why not?”
