Personal Overview

#Currently playing in NAT 3 in England for NRUFC

I am a versatile athlete looking to play rugby overseas. I played 3 college sports (soccer, football, and baseball) as a student at Hendrix College. After graduating with an international relations degree, I started playing rugby for the Kansas City Blues, making their first team 7s roster in my first summer in the sport, and cracking the first team roster in the fall in my first-ever XVs season. I'm looking to expand my rugby experience overseas and am willing to consider any and all opportunities. 

 

  • For our 2023 7s season, I was a mainstay starter on the national qualifier roster, leading the team in tries and scoring a game-winning try in sudden death at least once a tournament.

 

USA South Rugby 7s

  • During the summer of 2023, I was invited to play for the regional USA South Rugby 7s team, which was made up of some of the best young talent in the southern part of the nation. In the one tournament we played together, the team went undefeated, winning the tournament against the likes of the Jockeys Rugby Club, and Tennessee Elite.

 

Northwich RUFC

 

  • For the fall 2023 season, I am playing in England at the Nat 3 level for Northwich RUFC. In 7 starts for the club, I have scored 7 tries and created countless other opportunities with my line breaks and athleticism. So far, I have been named man of the match and was a finalist for man of the month in October. As it stands right now, I am currently tied for tries scored on the team.
