I’m a dual sport athlete (soccer & swimming) from a small town east of Lexington, KY. I start as a wide defender for Lexington Sporting Club 09 Performance Green in the Mid-America division of the National Academy League (soon to be MLS Next II, Great Lakes) and Montgomery County High School of KHSAA Region 10. I also played for the Lex Sporting Academy that competed at the ’23 & ’24 USL Academy Cups in Tampa, FL.

I’m currently 6’0″ and still growing due to my 6’4″ dad. I’m a versatile player that mostly plays on the back line as a ball-playing defender but I can play in the midfield as well and pride myself on my crosses, high pressing, composure and 1v1 defending. My primary club position is outside back in a back-four but in a back-three I play wide centeraback and sometimes wingback depending on formation and personnel. For my high school, I start on the varsity team as a central or wide midfielder. I’m comfortable on either side of the field.
