Why do you play football ? I play football because of the relationships it builds and life lessons it teaches you at such a young age. I have fallen in love with the game and have become very determined to get better every day and be the best player and person I can be.

What has been your best football memory ? My best memory is winning on FFL night and getting in the paper, it was a huge game for our season and we came out and played the best game of the year. People doubted us from the start and this was a big reason we got into playoffs.

Who is your biggest fan and why ? My mom, because she cares about me so much and comes to every game and supports me whether I play good or bad.

Who is your role model and why ? My Dad or my grandfather because they always want the best out of me and push me to be the best I can be. They were also very good athletes and I admire their work ethic and character.

What is your desired major in college ? I am not sure yet.

In your opinion, where is the toughest place to play ? I try to come into every game the same, but this year was
probably Garnet Valley.  They were a very good team and they had a lot of people at the game so it was fun but before the ball got snapped I was nervous but once I got going I felt fine.

What is your personal goal for this year ? I want to get All-state and Delco Player of the year.

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

Which do you prefer, Bone-in, or Bone-out wings? Bone in, but I prefer flats over drumsticks.

Most embarrassing sports moment ? My freshman year I almost got sacked and tried staying up but I tripped, fell, and fumbled.

Sport you’d love to play but can’t ? I would love to try baseball again, I played my entire childhood but I stopped playing so I could focus on football more.

What is one thing you’ve learned from football that you’d like to pass on to future players… I learned that if you work as hard as you can and do what you are told, then good things will happen. My coach told me not to long ago to control the controllable and that has kind of stuck with me. Worry about your team and work on bettering yourself before worrying about what other people are doing and comparing yourself to others.
