Personal: Hometown is Choteau, Montana...Born on October 6, 2000...Parents are Paula & Charles Ballard...Siblings are Michael, Candace...Majoring in biology (pre-physical therapy)...Chose Morris because the moment I got there it felt like home. All of the people I met instantly became good friends that I would love to spend 4 years with and play football with. I want to help in bringing Morris to the national spotlight through conference championships and the natty. Go Cougars...Connections to Morris are Coach Zimm, he played for Great Falls High, a city an hour from mine and we instantly bonded over our love of football and wrestling..
