from zero star walk-on to the NFL
high school
I grew up in Panama City, Florida, and graduated from Rutherford High School in 2011. I was a standout player in Bay County, earning respect for my talent and work ethic on the field. But despite my performance, I finished high school as a zero-star recruit with no scholarship offers.
florida state
After graduating from Rutherford High School in 2011 with no offers, I didn’t play football for three years. With two years of eligibility left, I walked on to the reigning national champions at Florida State University. I earned a scholarship after my first season and went on to start six games in my senior year.
nfL
After finishing my career at Florida State, I went undrafted but signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a free agent. I played three seasons in Tampa, starting over 30 games. After that, I signed with the Carolina Panthers and became the starting nickel corner there as well.
Cfl career
After my time in the NFL, I continued my career in the CFL, playing two seasons with the Calgary Stampeders and Hamilton Tiger-Cats. After a successful run up there, I decided to retire from professional football and step into the next chapter of my life.

I’m the author of Unconquered Walk-On, a self-published memoir that tells my story—from being a zero-star recruit with no offers to walking on at Florida State and making it to the NFL. I wrote it to inspire others to chase their dreams, no matter the odds.
