Conneaut is expected/projected to do big things this season. Do you or the team feel extra pressure with the big expectations you guys have had set upon you?

I do not really feel pressure, I just want to go out and play our brand of football and play everyone on our schedule tough.

WREC/CB/RB where do you like playing the best and why?

I feel best at wide receiver, I have worked hard on my ability to get in and out of breaks and worked on my hands throughout the years.

Which team on the schedule do you want to beat the most, that you have not recorded a victory against so far?

I want to beat Oil City, I have played them since my freshman year and we are yet to beat them, it’s personal.

What has been your fondest memory on the field so far?

The fondest memory I have is when we beat Hickory when I was a sophomore, they were supposed to beat us that game and we beat them by multiple scores that game.

Which win and loss stick out the most to you? Why?

A win that sticks with me is beating Meadville the year after they sent us a joke from the playoffs and a loss is also against Meadville last season is a last-second touchdown.

How important is it for the upperclassmen not only to be leaders on the field to the younger players but off of the field too?

We upperclassmen have to lead the younger kids off the field just as much on the field, they have to carry on traditions that have been going on since we combined schools, they are the future.

What is the most important lesson you have been able to learn from playing football?

Football has taught me perseverance and hard work, that will get you through anything in football and life.

When the game is on the line why should the coach call your number?

In a game on the line situation, I believe my coach should call me because I will do anything to win.

Which road stadium do you enjoy playing at the most?

I love playing at Meadville’s stadium, the hostility in the air your can embrace and you know your honing to get a tough game and it’s just a great experience.

How important is it for you as a player to be asked to play in one of the state’s all-star games after your last game?

I would love to be asked to play in the all-star game, so many of my friends have played in it and it is a great way to show what you have.
