What attracted you to Georgia Southern when you were making a decision to transfer?

The fans played a big part in my decision. I used to watch Georgia Southern a bunch when I was growing up and I've watched the Sun Belt teams play these past couple of years so I'm familiar with this program.

What do you like to do when you're away from football?
I like to go fishing and be around my family.

What's your pregame ritual?
I've got to have "Lifestyle" playing in my headphones. I brush my teeth two times every morning on gameday.

What do you prefer - a book, a movie or a video game?
Video games. I like Call of Duty

What's the last show you binge-watched?
Power

If you weren't a football player, what sport would you go to college to play?
Basketball

After football is over, what is your current career aspirations?
I want to go into coaching.

What's something most people don't know about you?
I watch football 24/7. I'm kind of a junkie.

Finally, what aspect of gameday in Paulson Stadium are you looking forward to experiencing on Aug. 31 against Boise State?
The atmosphere. I'm excited to feel the passion of the fans and the energy they bring on gameday.

Georgia Southern opens its 2024 season at home on Saturday, Aug. 31 against defending Mountain West champion Boise State as part of an exciting six-game home schedule at Allen E. Paulson Stadium. Ticket renewals are underway and information can be found at GSEagles.com/PowerOfPaulson.
