Why do you play football ? I love the challenges it provides both mentally and physically. I love the team aspect, you need to be able to rely on the guy next to you in order to win. And I love playing in front of my community each week.

What has been your best football memory ? My best football memory was the PAC championship against PJP. We played through a nor’easter and won 30-0.

Who is your biggest fan and why ? My biggest “fan” is my family, specifically my parents. They come to all of my games and are super supportive.

Who is your role model and why ? My parents, they have always pushed me to reach my full potential on and off the field.

What is your desired major in college ? Something in the sciences.

What is your personal goal for this year ? To be named First Team All-League and All-Area and 1000 yds receiving.

Other than cheese, what is your favorite pizza topping ? BBQ Chicken

Which do you prefer, Bone-in, or Bone-out wings ? Bone-in

What would be your best dish if and when you were to cook a meal ? Chicken Fajitas

Most embarrassing sports moment ? Fumbling on the goal line causing a touchback.

Sport you’d love to play but can’t ? Volleyball

What is one thing you’ve learned from football that you’d like to pass on to future players…
Have a short term memory while you’re playing. You can drop a pass and then catch a touchdown a few plays later. Everyone is going to have bad plays so it’s important to learn and move on.
