Making a positive difference in the community is my responsibility.
Football gives me the opportunity to have a platform in which I can speak on so many levels to many different people. Through my work with Fellowship of Christian Athletes, I have had the ability to speak to youth about Jesus Christ and what it means to be a Christian. Throughout my college career I had the privileged opportunity to speak at schools, visit hospitals, and participate with my local FCA organization.
“At any moment, any second, my football career could be taken away but my faith and relationship with God will never be taken from me.”
