Scoring the first touchdown on KM Telecom Stadium's new turf field.
Tell us about someone who inspires you in sports and why?
Adrian Peterson, he inspires me every day with his work ethic and mindset. I think he is the best running back in the game today, but he works to improve everyday to be even better then the best.

What advice do you have for younger athletes?
To play and practice your heart out every time you step on the field or court. You never know when it is going to end, so play as if tomorrow could be your last time and you will have no regrets.
