I was signed as a NFL QB for the Cleveland Browns in 2020 after being one of 17 quarterbacks selected to attend the 2020 NFL Combine in Indianapolis. I played college football at Princeton University from 2016-2019 and am excited to share all I have learned with you. Growing up in California, I had a few of the best quarterback coaches in the country, named Tom House and Adam Dedeaux. They were the QB coaches for Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Matt Stafford, Jared Goff, Jalen Hurts, Justin Herbert, etc. I look forward to working together and passing along my knowledge and experience.
