Student Reporter

Originally from Mansfield, Texas, David is a student athlete at the University of Louisiana Monroe. He is a senior communications major, pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree. He is also a member of the university's football team and will complete his final year in the fall of 2025.

David graduated from Mansfield High School in 2021, where he was on numerous honor roll lists, and received the school's Principal Award for being the most outstanding student. He also competed in football, basketball, as well as track and field, earning multiple All-District honors. He received multiple scholarship offers but signed with ULM after his senior season.

David is really big on foundation, family, integrity, and service. He enjoys serving the community, participating in activities such as providing Thanksgiving meals to the homeless, and Special Olympics sports events. He hopes to continue to serve others and aims to be an example for people coming behind him.

After graduation, David will pursue a career in sports media through broadcasting, journalism, or radio talk show host. He hopes to be able to share his knowledge of sports with the world but also learn the best ways to interact with his viewers/listeners.

In his free time, David enjoys spending time with family and friends, listening to music, watching movies, playing golf, and working out.
