CRUSHING ON Peyton Manning
I LISTEN TO Migos, a hip-hop group whose three members are Quavo, Offset and Takeoff.
I DRIVE 2005 white Jeep Grand Cherokee 4WD. It has a 3-inch lift.
MOST PEOPLE DON’T KNOW My middle name is Hayden (same as teammate Hayden Holtgrewe).
MY HERO IS My mom. She has always been an inspiration to me, and she has always been there for me.
FAVORITE MEAL Steak cooked medium rare with loaded mashed potatoes.
WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT FOOTBALL I love the atmosphere, like the community here. I love going out there and playing in front of the community. I love playing with my teammates. We’re all close and like to hang out together, like at the creek.
IN 10 YEARS I WILL I plan on still being in medical school. I want to be an orthopedic surgeon.
