Why do you play football?
I have been playing football since 2nd grade. I’ve always been a more shy kid so football allows me to let it all out. I’ve made a lot of close friends and bonds through this sport, especially in high school. I’ve always loved this sport and it had given a lot to me as a person and a student.

Who is your favorite sports star and why?
My favorite sports star is Tyrese Maxey. I love his work ethic and grit. I admire the way he worked to become a threat on the court.

Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:
My favorite play was against Strath Haven. It was a tie game and they dropped back to pass and I got a hand on the quarterback’s arm as he was throwing and the ball popped up and we got an interception. I remember running onto the sideline and being barraged with people.

What are your goals for this coming season?
My goals for this season are to win District 1 and to have an undefeated regular season. I’d also like to earn first team in both the Central League and Delco.

What stadium, HS/college/pro would you love to visit for a game?
I would love to visit Lambeau Field.

What is your favorite Pro team, any sport?
My favorite pro team is the Philadelphia Eagles

What sports movie would you watch every day if you had to pick one and why?
I would watch Remember the Titans every day because I love the story it tells. It is very motivational to watch as a football player.

Name one thing that you’d love to do in football that may never happen?
I would want to get a pick 6 or a scoop and score.

Is there anyone in your family, besides your parents, you could consider your biggest fan? Who, Why?
My grandparents are my biggest supporters. They come to every game for not just me, but for my siblings and cousins. They always text me after so that I know they were there and they say good job. They love watching us all play because they know we love it and they enjoy watching different sports year round.

What is your favorite football memory to date?
My favorite football memory is the sleepover camp we have in the middle of August. We sleep I. The school for an entire week and practice 3 times a day. What makes it fun is being around my teammates and creating special bonds with them in our downtime. Our phones are taken so we have to connection to outside life. This is very refreshing as a teenager.

Which one? Sheetz or Wawa
Wawa

What is your favorite vacation destination?
Disney World

Do you remember what the first football game you saw was?
The first high level football game I remember seeing was when Temple played Notre Dame at the Linc on Halloween night.
