PERSONAL
Born on March 24, 2005 in Athens, Ga… Planned major heading into his first year at LSU is Petroleum Engineering… Has one sister named Chloe and his parent’s names are Jim and Jessica… Interesting fact: “I caddied at the US Amateur Golf Qualifier this past year”… Had a few cousins compete at the collegiate level in football as well as one who made it to the scouting camp for the NY Giants… Chose LSU because: “When I stepped on campus I got the feeling it was the right place for me! This coupled with the amazing coaching staff and the fact they offered a major I liked, made it a very easy decision.”
