Favorite Bible Verse:
Matthew 5 — The Sermon on the Mount
I love how inclusive it is and how clearly Jesus lays out what He calls us to and what we can look forward to. It’s a powerful chapter to live by.
Who has been the most influential person in your life?
My parents. They set a great example and raised us in a way where they shared their faith but allowed us to discover it for ourselves. That helped me develop my own personal relationship with God.
Who has impacted your spiritual journey the most?
My parents — they encouraged me to seek and build my own relationship with God rather than forcing it.
Favorite Food:
Ribeye steak (medium rare) with a loaded sweet potato and a Caesar salad
Pre-Game Routine:
I say a prayer during the National Anthem, then sip on a C4 energy drink and chew gum before the game.
Hidden Talents:
I used to freestyle rap with a friend in high school — we were pretty good, but a little out of practice now.
