Why did you choose BYU? Because I got recruited to come here.

When did you start playing basketball? I started playing when I was five. It was something my mom and dad did and I was used to seeing them being in the gym all day so I did it. 

Who is one of your role models? My grandmother. She’s a very strong and independent lady who always does the right thing and looks out for other people. 

What are your pregame rituals? I just get in the zone, get to myself and put my headphones on and listen to some motivation songs. I like a song called Lights by Flame. That’s the one I usually play last before taking my headphones off. 

What is your favorite sport besides basketball? Definitely football. I’m from the South so a lot of football goes on down there. I played football up until high school. Then my mom made me choose one or the other and I chose basketball. 

What is your favorite basketball memory? Winning state in high school. 

What do you do when you're not playing basketball? Usually I’m Facetiming my friends back at home or playing NBA 2k19. I play that a lot.

What is your favorite movie? He got game. 

What is your favorite TV show? Family Guy.

If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? Bora Bora because I’ve seen pictures and it has very clear water. 

What is your favorite thing about BYU? The fans. Whether we win or lose they’re right here with us.
