What was last years season like for you?
Last years season was a big season for me because it was my first season coming in as the starting center so there was a little pressure there but I feel that I delt with the pressure well and believe that I had a really good year coming away with being a first team all conference and second team all area offensive line.

One sports movie that I could watch everyday if I could would be Miracle because I think that it is the best sports movie out there. It also just really gets me going with Herb Brooks pre game speech.
If your mom and dad are screaming at you from the stands, what is it they usually yell?
My parents are not much of yellers in the stands especially my dad he doesn’t yell anything during a game he just saves it all for after when I get home.
Name one thing that you’d love to do in football that may never happen?
As an offensive lineman I would love to score a touchdown.
