Shortest Longsnapper in the NCAA. I am legally Deaf. In highschool I never even started a game. My senior year I got in the game as a D tackle only because we had no defensive linemen. Had 0 interest from any school. I barely graduated highschool. After highschool I started coaching youth football and it changed my life. They always questioned why at 18 years old I gave up on my dreams. I enrolled in Junior college, I got in shape and I taught myself how to long snap. I got the starting job at my Junior college. I made the Deans list for my academics and started getting scholarships to play at 4 year schools. I ended up picking Western Oregon University. All was possible because I didn’t quit.
