“Through my parents. Growing up they’ve always been super giving back to anyone who needed help. I’ve always been around it.”

“I have three of our people in my circle who help me with the fundraising. They’ve definitely made it a lot easier than it really should be. It can be very difficult.”

“They don’t really appreciate the whole aspect of [longsnapping]. It’s unknown.  When we go out to punt no one really watches.  It’s an overlooked position.”

“I’m very happy I got to come back. I got to learn more and work more on and off the field... just to take another year to learn, tweak things I need to get better at to get to the next level, has been very helpful.”

“There has been a good amount of growth... there is time for play, time for work.  Just getting people to realize that has been a really big challenge because I haven’t had to do that before.”

“Just being around [giving back] has opened a huge door for me to step in and give back.”
