Jobs I've held... I worked at a bakery in San Antonio. I was a referee at the YMCA in Lawton and worked at a warehouse called Lawton Winnelson. I used to mow lawns. I worked for a state representative during the summer.
Outside of football, I like _____. Hunting, fishing and playing golf. Watching cartoons. Playing basketball and making people laugh.
I love talking to people, watching movies and dancing even though I can't dance.
_____ is the event that most shaped my life. My family has really helped me through a lot and the support of the people in my community. Getting a scholarship to play football. Starting to play football. Transferring high schools. If I had stayed at my old high school I most likely would have played basketball.
I wear No. __ because... I wanted 17, but Mossis had it. My favorite baseball player, Lance Berkman, wears No 17. They just gave it to me, but I would like to change it after this year. It is close to the number of my favorite player. It was the number I was given and it was also my high school number.
Game or practice superstitions... I like to listen to Juke Joint Johnny by Red Sovine. None really. I always pray and listen to music before games. None, I just get out there and play.
The most interesting place I've visited was... Cozumel, Mexico North Carolina Memphis, Tenn. Beaverton, Ore., and the Nike Headquarters for a basketball tournament.
My mother's/father's occupation is... My mother is the greatest mom in the world and my dad is a business owner/contractor. My mother owns a beauty salon called A Nu Image and my father is the CEO at Duncan's Simmons Center. My dad works for Courier, and my mother is a Sunglass manager. My mother is a middle school librarian, and my father is a high school principal.
