While Micah attended Gilman,<\/span> his parents helped place his younger brother Jordan in the Baltimore School for the Arts so that he could thrive artistically as Micah did athletically. This is when Micah really gained a full understanding of the sacrifices his parents were making for him and his brother. He made it clear that he is internally driven and not fazed by outside sources, and that these sacrifices that his parents have made to place him and his brother in positions to be successful drive him \u2013 he wants to make them proud.<\/p>\n

When asked about his plans for the future, Micah responded, \u201cIn the perfect near future I want to leave a legacy here at UVA; I want to make a difference in turning this program around, and then fulfill my lifelong dream of playing in the NFL. Down the road I also aspire to become a coach. I believe that being a coach provides an opportunity to become the ultimate teacher, mentor, and motivator for young people while having a great impact on their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, when asked about what he would say to the individuals who make his scholarship possible and provide an opportunity for him to fulfill his dream of playing football at the highest collegiate level, Micah said, \u201cThe VAF donors and the Foundation are essential in providing student-athletes, like myself, the opportunity to attend one of the greatest universities in the world and chase Uncompromised Excellence both in the classroom and on the field of play, and for that, I am forever grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>
