“What made you decide to come to Harding?”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I got recruited to play football here. I came on a visit and I just really loved it. It seemed like a really positive environment, which is a lot different than what I am used to back home. I fell in love with the people and the Harding image.”<\/p>\n

“What made you decide to play college football?”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I have been playing football since I was 5. It has always been my goal to play college football. Ever since I can remember, all I wanted to do was play for the Arkansas Razorbacks, but that didn’t happen. I still got to live out my dream of playing college football, and it just happened to be at a great place like Harding. It is just one of the things I have always known I wanted to do.”<\/p>\n

“How have relationships formed here at Harding played a part in your life?”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

“It has influenced me to be a better person. Once you get around a place with many good people it just rubs off on you. It makes you want to be a better person and do the right thing. I am very thankful for all the friendships that I have made at Harding.”<\/p>\n

“What makes Harding football different?”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Definitely the fact that with everything we do, we work toward honoring God. That is the motto of our football team. I have never been around a football team that’s main goal is to worship God in everything that they do. We are doing it for Him.”<\/p>\n

“How do you manage your time?”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It is really hard. Sometimes some things have to get cut out of the picture and sometimes it is my social life. I still have school just as much as the otherstudents. We don’t get any breaks because we are on the football team. I like to take advantage of having my planner. It helps me stay focused so I can get all the things I need to get done accomplished first then I can have fun after that.”<\/p>\n

“Who is your mentor on the coaching staff?”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Coach Beason he has been the biggest influence on me. He works with my position group, so I am around him a lot. He is a very strong Christian. He is always pushing me. I have been over to his house and seen the way he interacts with his family and it makes me want stuff like that. He is a very good guy and positive man. I love being around him. He has taught me a lot about the game of football and life as a Christian man.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
