D1 Dreams

From an injury riddled start in high school with 0 scholarship offers going into the final year. Finished final year with 15+ Division 1 football offers to various schools around the country. Ultimately decided to play football for Colorado State University.

Career Moments: Colorado State University (CSU)

One of the most productive tight ends in CSU history, finishing just outside the top 5 for career marks. A 2x Mackey Award watchlist tight end with noteworthy performances including a career high: 107 yards vs Arkansas in 2018. Sidelined almost 2 years in junior and senior seasons due to injuries.

NFL Experience

From Player To Coach

Would join the Coastal Carolina Football staff in 2024, becoming the Assistant Wide Receivers Coach. Not many have the experience of being recruited and playing D1 football, to then being the recruiter and coaching D1 football.

Training

Teaching the game to the next generation and helping families live healthier, more active lifestyles is what it's all about. Taking experiences from different roles in the game of football and giving it back to those looking to level up.

Making A Difference: PSA

I have now returned to my hometown of Columbia, creating the new standard in youth sports training. This program is the first of its kind and will help showcase future stars we have in our state. This program is much more than football; it's about mentorship and preparing our kids for the game of life, through football. Welcome to PSA!
