Why do you play football?
It’s fun. Love being on a team with guys who want to work and win.

Who is your favorite sports star and why?
For years I have been a Troy Polamalu fan. Have not changed on that. Loved the way he played with instincts and freedom.

Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:
Last run on the last drive against Abington during the 2021 season. We were driving with a 3-0 lead and less than 2 minutes on the clock. I broke through a nice hole the o-line blocked up. Had a chance to score a touchdown, but stopping short of the goal line ended any chance of Abington getting the ball back. Dropped to ground at the 1 yard line. Game over.

1500 yds rushing and at least 80 tackles. Making the All-State team and beating West

Steelers!

Alabama beating Georgia in the 2018 National Championship game. Tua to DeVonta for the win was crazy.
