The NFL center, known for his resilience and determination, first entered the professional football scene when he was signed by the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent back in 2017. That marked the beginning of his journey in the league—a journey that would see him grow both on and off the field. Later on, in July 2022, the NFL center caught the attention of another team and was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles, adding a new chapter to his evolving career. Over the years, he’s also had the opportunity to play for the Miami Dolphins, gaining valuable experience across different systems and coaching styles.

Before all the bright lights of the NFL, though, his path started in college, where he played football at the University of Southern Mississippi. During his time there, the NFL center stood out not just for his performance on the gridiron but also for his commitment to academics—earning a spot on the Conference USA All-Academic team twice. It was clear even then that discipline and hard work were central to who he was. Growing up, he lived with his family in the Baton Rouge, Louisiana area, where he developed a strong sense of community and responsibility. As the oldest of two brothers, he often took on a leadership role early in life, a trait that would later define his approach to the game.
