Birthdate: May 28, 1991
Hometown: McKinney, Texas
Youth club: U-18 FC Dallas Academy team. I used to play for FC Dallas (no affiliation to the MLS club).
High school: McKinney High School. I have one more year left there.
Position: In high school, I play as a forward, but for club, I play as a right back. I don't have a favorite position.
First soccer memory: At a practice when I was 4, I remember not being that good, so I would let everyone cut it front of me during drills. That way, I didn't get the chance to mess up.
Strengths: I'm pretty quick and my size helps me out.
Weaknesses: I can improve all around. I just want to keep getting better.
Highlight: In the Dallas Cup in 2007, when I was playing for my old club team we beat the favorites to get to the quarterfinals.
Lowlight: Injuries have been the worst part for me. I recently had a deep bone bruise and missed two months.
Who do you play like? A right-footed Ashley Cole.
Other sports: I played basketball in middle school.
Academic interests: I want to study something in the business field.
Volunteering: I volunteer at a local kid's camp. Sometimes, we play soccer with them. I really enjoy it.
Role models: My uncle [Terry Woodberry]. He was drafted by the Kansas City Wizards and also played for the Dallas Sidekicks. He has been involved with my development as a soccer player and he always told me that I would be a better play than him. That's what I'm trying to do.
Memorable advice: Just to enjoy it while you're out there but to always keep your head in the game because you never know who's in the stands watching you.
Favorite teams: Chelsea, Germany, and Spain. I really enjoyed the Euro 2008 final.
Favorite players: John Terry and Didier Drogba.
Favorite show: Rob and Big
Favorite movie: Superbad
Favorite reading: Eurosport
Favorite music: Lil Wayne and Lupe Fiasco
Craziest moment on the soccer field: Last year, I was tackled really hard, and my pants actually fell down while I was on the field.
