To my coaches and teammates, thank you for pushing me to be the best athlete and person ! can be. Your guidance, mentorship, and friendship have played a pivotal role in my development both on and off the field.

Looking ahead, I am excited to announce that I will be continuing my football journey at IMG Academy. While it is bittersweet to leave, I am eager for the new challenges and opportunities that await me there.
