What attracted you to Alfred State College? The athletic program and the college's academic establishment attracted me to Alfred State. ASC also offererd me a chance to earn my associate's degree while playing football and running track and field. Alfred State College gave me the best chance to achieve my goals.
What was your biggest moment in your record breaking game? My record breaking game was kind of a bitter sweet feeling because I felt as though I really didn't do everything in my power to help the team secure a win. I was happy that I broke the ASC single game interception record but at the same time disgusted becuase we lost and I felt as though I could have contributed more.
How was the transition from offense to defense this year? The transition from offense to defense this year is a diffuclt one but I'm learning and becoming better at cornerback everyday. It helps that I have tremendous coaches helping me see my ability and help me become a productive defensive back for our team. They are constantly helping me day in and out to be the best that i can. The transition so far is going smooth, but I'm not quite Champ Bailey yet.
What are your expectations on and off the field? My expectations on and off the field are the same and that's to be the best at everything I put my mind to on the field and in the classroom.
