Why do you play football?
Every since I started playing football my freshman year of high school it’s just always stuck with me. I have found so much love, joy, and pride in this sport and the energy it brings really amazes me. I feel like this sport is my biggest shot at making a name for myself and I am willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen.

Who is your favorite sports star and why?
Michael Thomas because his skillset as a WR is what i look up too and try and learn from and his persistence inspires me.

Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:
My favorite play is from our first game of last season against Penncrest. I made a momentum shifting 40 yard catch that eventually led to us winning that game.

What are your goals for this coming season?
I want to put up big numbers this coming season to put my name out there and make a statement. But most importantly I want to do whatever i can to help my team win and strive to make a playoff run.

The Philadelphia Eagles

Nothing “may never happen” in my book. I wanna do whatever I can to make it happen.

Who is your mentor, the person you want to be like? WHY?

What is your most embarrassing sports moment?
Dropping a touchdown with the game on the line.
