Something that not many people know about you: “I didn’t like football until I came to high school.”
Best football moment: “My game on my 16th birthday. The score was 69-0, and I had three fumble recoveries, two forced fumbles and four sacks.”
Role model: “My mother because she always keeps me focused and never stops doing what she is doing. She makes sure she stays on task and I do, too.”
Why Maryland? “Maryland was always home to me. So after meeting the coaches, and it just felt like home already, it was pretty much a fit. There’s an opportunity to start [early in my career], so that helped, too. And everybody just felt like family.”
