Why I chose Stanford:
“I chose Stanford because it is one of the most academically prestigious universities in the nation. On top of that, it is also one of the most dominant football programs. The opportunity was a no-brainer for me.”

The Cardinal player I look up to:
“Usua Amanam. I met him while I was on my official visit. He's about my size, and he was a starting defensive player. He told me that if I handle business and work hard, size has nothing to do with what you can accomplish.”
