100% MATLOCK MADE 

From the beginning, there was just a kid from Idaho with a dream. A dream and desire to be the best and make the most out of his situation. Fast forward 10 years and that dream is an unfolding reality. 

About to play in my first NFL game as me reflecting on the path it took to get here. From high school, to college, and now at the highest of level, makes me truly grateful and humble to be where I am today. It’s been a wild road to get to this moment but I know I’ll make the most of it and cherish everything on the way to where life takes me. On my 23rd birthday my big bro steevvvoooo (who’s the best brother I could ever ask for) collaborated with Boise State University to make this tribute to my journey. It’s fair to say it pulls on the heart strings every time I watch it and is easily the best gift I have ever received. It’s an awesome piece which makes looking back on the journey easier and more enjoyable. So shoutout to you STEVO! 🤝🏻. 

With that said, I’ll leave you with some words of encouragement… IM NOT SPECIAL. Im not someone who came from wealth or royalties. I’m not someone who was the cool kid growing up. I’m not the biggest, strongest, or the fastest and never was. The reality is you aren’t either. Guess what? That’s OKAY!!! What makes you special is your belief, faith, desire, determination, and everlasting will to be the person you want to be. It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks!! The only thing that matters is living your life to the fullest. Search deep within your soul and ask yourself…”What do I want out of this life?” Find your answer and stop at nothing to achieve it. If I can do it, YOU CAN TO because I believe I you.
