Football wasn’t of any interest to me until my freshmen year of high school. I was always a bigger kid (in the chubby sense), who spent much more time at the gaming computer than on the playground or sports field. Thankfully, my high school’s JV coach took notice of my larger build early, and encouraged me to come out. He stuck me on the D-line at first, and I quickly fell in love. I finally had a way to take my frustrations out on the field, as well as a supportive team to build me up. Gradually, fat gave way to muscle, and my JV coach moved me to OLB before the end of my first season. I made varsity the next year, and the rest is history.
