In the Fall of 2017, I will be attending the United States Naval Academy on a football scholarship. I chose to attend the academy not only to fulfill my dream of being a division one football player but to also support my family as I continue to get older.

I am writing this story about former Knight and current Jacksonville Jaguar, Yannick Ngakoue because he is where I hope to be one day. In about three to four years, I hope to be an NFL football star. Becoming an NFL football player has been a career I've been pursuing since I was a little boy.

Farafina Kan is an American based West African drum and dance company currently housed in Mt, Rainier, Maryland. Farafina Kan was founded by Mahiri Keita and Diallo Sumbry who are brothers. We play West African music from many different countries. 

The life of a college football recruit can be fun and also very stressful at times. The recruiting process can be overwhelming because student athletes start getting offers early depending on how good they are. This constant harassment by college coaches telling you the same thing every other coach is telling you makes it hard to choose the right school.

This year I was honored to be selected to the First Team Allmet Defense. Allmet consists of the top players in this area from both offense and defense. Players are deemed first team, second team, or honorable mention based on their performance during the season.

I am one who loves football. I love the action and I have an extreme passion for the game. There are many players in the NFL today who I look up to, but there is no one I aspire to be like more than JJ Watt. Ever since I moved to defensive end, JJ is someone who I've kept a close eye on.
