1- How long have you been playing football?
I started playing football in 7th grade, but I’ve loved the game since I was a little kid.

2-What other sports do you play?
Baseball

3- What life lessons has football taught you?
Playing football instills values of discipline, hard work, perseverance, and teamwork. It takes a lot of passion and focus to win, not just talent alone. The game has also taught me to be patient and push towards long term goals.

4- How often do you watch film on your opponents?
During the season, I usually watch film every day to keep things fresh in my mind. In the off-season it’s not as frequent, but I don’t go a week without it. When I’m not watching our film, I love to watch games and videos from College and NFL teams.

5- Do you plan on playing college football?
Yes, I plan on playing in college.

6-Do you have any college offers? If so. Where?
I have received an opportunity to play at Washington and Jefferson.

7-What are your team and personal goals for the season?
As a team, the goal is to simply take it one week at a time and win. It starts the morning after the last game. Personally, I want to push myself as much as possible and not set any limits on what I can do.

8-Do you prefer offense or defense?
Offense

9- What is the hardest part of practice?
The hardest part of practice has to be moving around after a squat lift.

10- What is the best thing about playing at home?
Playing at home is surreal. The atmosphere was crazy this past season and having a band with 400+ members playing music certainly helps.

11-What is the hardest part of being the QB?
The hardest part of being the QB is keeping track of what every player is doing on the field, both on our team and on the opposing team.

12- What is your favorite type of music?
I have a very broad taste in music, but I enjoy listening to rap the most.

13- What is your favorite book?
My favorite book is Friday Night Lights by HG Bissinger.

14- What is your favorite TV program?
My favorite TV program is either Breaking Bad or Last Chance U.

15- What is your favorite class?
My favorite subject is math, but there isn’t one that I particularly don’t like.
