Levi l brings a physical, aggressive edge to Cornersville, but there is thought behind the way he plays. He describes his game as smart and relentless, with the versatility to tackle, cover, create turnovers, and help on special teams. He wants to be near the football on every snap, and that hunger has helped him make an impact during the Bulldogs’ 6-0 start.

Levi has 49 total tackles, including 40 solo stops, to go with an interception, 4 fumble recoveries, and 9 pass deflections. His blocked punt for a touchdown stands out most to him because of the lift it gave his team. It was an explosive play that turned his work into points and brought even more energy to his team.

Before the snap, Levi studies formations, motion, and where opponents line up. He looks for clues that can help him react quickly once the ball moves. His improvement since last season has come through better technique and a stronger understanding of the game, along with better tackling and coverage. That preparation helps him trust what he sees and play fast.

Levi has dealt with ups and downs in football, using those experiences as a reason to work harder. He spent the offseason building strength, speed, and skill, and he continues to watch film and put in extra work. He knows the work done away from the crowd can show up when his team needs a stop.

Being part of the culture growing at Cornersville means a great deal to Levi. He wants to lead by example, bring energy, and help make the program stronger. A coach can count on him to play hard every snap and give everything he has while helping his teammates win. His family, his brothers on the field, and the goals he's chasing fuel his desire to see how far he can go in football.

Levi has a knack for getting involved without waiting for a play to come straight to him. His willingness to close on the action gives Cornersville a defender who can disrupt an opponent’s plans from several spots on the field. That fierce approach can help set the tone when the Bulldogs need an answer.

The weeks ahead give Levi a chance to grow into an even louder voice for this team. As his experience builds, he can help younger teammates match the standard Cornersville is setting while staying ready for the moments that test everyone. He's already shown that he wants to do his part, and there is plenty of reason to believe he can help this team take its run further. Stay tuned.
