Q&A

What made you choose football?

Honestly, I’m not really sure. All I know is I love the intensity of the game, and the intensity keeps getting higher as I get older.

What’s your favorite football memory?

One of our two midget championships or the time I was playing defensive line in midgets, I took the handoff from the other teams QB and scored a touchdown.

What activities do you enjoy outside of playing football?

I love singing and songwriting.

What non-football accomplishment are you most proud of?

Staying on the honor roll since I was a freshman and making it to all the choir festivals I’ve been to.

Who is your favorite athlete, and why?

Lebron James, not only does he amaze me on the court but also the way he takes care of his community, home town, and, most importantly, his family.

What has been the most difficult part of training during the pandemic, and how did you overcome it?

It was difficult not to be able to go to the gym almost every day, but a few buddies and I would meet up to workout at a friend’s house with what we had.

Do you prefer offense or defense?

Defense.

Who is your biggest role model?

My mom is my biggest role model, and I play every play to make her proud.

What are your parents most likely to yell from the stands?

They usually don’t yell that much, but sometimes my dad is helping me read the defense or figure out what plays the other team runs out of certain formations.

If you could have dinner with three people, living or dead, who would you choose?

Lebron James, Eminem, and Inky Johnson.

What hobby do you have that might surprise people?

Definitely my singing, people are always surprised when I tell them I’m in concert choir, chambers choir, or the musical.

What’s your favorite sport, other than football, to play or watch?

My favorite sport to play is track and my favorite sport to watch is basketball.
