CENTER GROVE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL (Indiana)
2016 6A State Champion Runner-up (12-2)
2015 6A State Champion (14-0)

I have played football all throughout high school. I love this game and all that God can teach through the experience of teamwork, individual perseverance, pride… well, you name it. God has used football to build up my reliance on Him, my faith in His promises and my trust that He truly does have a great plan for my life. I love that Center Grove High School plays in the M.I.C., one of the toughest conferences in the United States (ranked #3 nationally). Every week, I practice against the best, and every Friday night, play against Division 1 players who now, or are committing to, play for schools like Cincinnati, Louisville, Notre Dame, Air Force, Indiana, and Michigan.

• Position:  Starting Outside Linebacker and Special Teams
• Selected by Head Coach, Eric Moore to represent the football team on our school’s inaugural “Captains Council ” established to create great working relationships between student-athletes and the Athletic Administration. In a program as large as Center Grove’s I was unbelievably honored to be selected!
• Selected by the 2016 Football Senior Class as the 2016 Football Senior Class Speaker to present words of thanks and appreciation for our community at the 2016 Football Awards Ceremony.
• As a junior and senior, Coach Moore selected me as one of six paid Power Club Leaders to work with youth in our community (grades 2nd through 6th), teaching form lifting, speed development, plyometrics, form running, agilities and more.
• As a freshman football player, I was humbled to receive the team’s “Leader Among Leaders” Award – a great affirmation of a work in progress! (Click on the title “Leader Among Leaders” above to see the Coach’s comments.)
• I have been blessed to be a part of a “day 1” football family, a raving football community, and student of one of the greatest coaches in high school football. Coach Moore’s program sets a high bar, demands exceptional commitment, and offers opportunity to lead in ways no classroom can offer.
