After a full game at right guard on offensive line, I’m alive, I’m in one piece, and I had the best time playing football ever. I’d love to been at linebacker the whole time but we were low on lineman, so I stepped in. You go where the team needs you not where you want to play. #commitment #outsidelinebacker #offensiveline #awaygame #cowlitzcobras #gayfootballplayer #americanfootball #gridiron #gay #pridemonth (at Neil F.

These are my top nine photos on 2017. It is all football related which is how my life is now, and I have no regret. It's just the algorithm that put my personal favorite and most recent picture in the center. I have my fans and I have my dreams, this story is just starting. Every year is better for me, despite what is happening in the country and world. In 2014 I got the chance to practice football, thanks to coach Stills. In 2015 I got to play and got my number 24. In 2016 my football brain expanded by orders of magnitude thanks in no small part to my football Yoda, number 13 in the center pic. In 2017 we both we both moved to the Cowlitz cobras and of all the drama that happened during that season, exponential growth happened for both of us. I also realized I didn't want to be a receiver, or a cornerback. In 2017 I realized I wanted to actually be a linebacker. I never shared this before but back in 2015 when I switched to defense my coach asked me what position I wanted to be. My gut said linebacker, but my teammate Tyrrel at the time said I should be defensive back since the previous year trying for receiver. For 3 years I played a position I was put into and suggested to play... Rather than one I wanted to play. After 4 years I'm done living that way, I'm gonna be a linebacker. #2017topnine #gayathlete #gayjock #gayfootballplayer #linebacker #pathtolinebacker #americanfootball #olb #outsidelinebacker #cowlitzcobras #footballyoda #gflbound #dashric #portlandfootball #Oregon #wwfa (at Beaverton, Oregon)

I honestly did not know that this photo existed until I looked in the Cowlitz cobras 2017 photo book. It's one of those that I personally want to frame and stick on the wall because out of the last 4 years this is the photo that makes me the most emotional. I know a lot of people don't read descriptions but it just figured I'd put this out there. #americanfootball #gridironfootball #gayfootballplayer #bestfriends #changedmylife #athleteyoutube #bro #cowlitzcobras #footballplayer #greatmemories
