How has being a NC Student-Athlete benefited you?
Being a student-athlete has given me a structure for my school year. My freshman and sophomore years sports helped me meet new people much easier. It allowed me to be more on top of my schoolwork because I didn't want to get put on academic probation.
What has been your most meaningful moment at NC outside of athletics?
Probably everyone helping me and being there for me after I broke my leg. All my teachers were very understanding, and my classmates always helped me out getting to class and helped me get my mind off the situation.

I eat bananas and I drink pickle juice before my games and at halftime to prevent cramps. Every game I have not done that I have cramped.

I'll miss team meals and bus rides with my teammates.
What advice would you give younger athletes about their time at NC?
Enjoy every practice and game that you have, even when it sucks, because you never know when it could be your last play.
What are your plans after graduation?
I am not sure yet. I may want to continue to play football in college, but I won't know until the end of the season.
