🚨Career Film/Stats🚨 2027 LB / SS / RB / HB 200+ Career Tackles | 20+ TFLs | 6 FF | 2 INT (1 Pick-Six) | 4-Year Varsity | 3-Year Starter | Team Captain | 2-Time State Champion | All-District LB & RB High-IQ, physical, multi-position player with explosive closing speed, relentless pursuit, sideline-to-sideline range, and the ability to make plays in space. Strong blocker and versatile offensive weapon. Broke my leg senior year. My hunger to play at the next level has only grown. I'm ready for the opportunity to prove myself. 🎥 Career Film: hudl.com/video/3/19341321/6a… #Recruiting #ClassOf2027 #FloridaHSFootball #CollegeFootball @CoachNelson23 @CoachEastman_ @_9Time @EsteroFB @_RandyS22 @CoachBarbara68 @Coach_Roberts1 @OS_ChrisHays @CoachOdierno @PastorCoachDad5 @DylanWatters7 @CoachJOdaffer @CoachRussSEU @CoachD_Riewold @coachtgabriele @AtifAustin @CoachK_Conner @Mickey_ORourke @CoachDavila @Coach_JScott @_CoachSwider

Tradition continues. 6 years straight. Death, Taxes, and putting a 60 burger on Bonita Spring. They did steal a lot of our towels though. 👍 See you next year at our place. ✌️out #Sheesh
