Inspiration and role models

• His sister Jamonika Walls inspires him the most. She has achieved a lot and is very stable despite her young age. She is kind and always wants him to achieve great things, regardless of football.
• If he could spend one day with a football player, it would be Deion Sanders because he is the greatest cornerback of all time. Getting knowledge and understanding of the position from him would be a dream.
• One current player he admires is Patrick Surtain because he is an absolute beast on the field and performs consistently well every year

Playing style and attitude

• He prefers the man-to-man defensive scheme because he can concentrate on one player and take him completely out of the game.
• On the field, he has a short-term memory and focuses on being the best version of himself.
• Off the field, he talks to his sister about everything to get a different perspective, but he doesn’t think too much about it. He talks about it and moves on.

Future and goals

• He wants to show that he knows the game very well, is a very confident player who knows his abilities and is a very committed player who is always willing to improve and learn from players at a higher level. He sees himself as a leader who leads by example and words.
• He loves the game of football because it has shown him that there is more to life than where he comes from. Football was his ticket to seeing a life outside of St. Louis. The family atmosphere and the relationships he has built through the sport are second to none.
