Something that not many people know about you: “I’m a big family-oriented guy, when it comes to my family and my teammates.”
Best football moment: “The biggest one is last year in the first round of the playoffs, I caught the game-winning touchdown pass with about 40 seconds left in the game against North Carroll.”
Role model: “My dad just because a lot of people tell you what to do and they don’t really follow the same stuff, but he leads by example and he’s an all-around great person. He’s done a lot for me and my family.”
Why Maryland? “Just because of the close family atmosphere and how with everyone there, it’s just like one big family.”
