Why do you play football?
I love the game.

Who is your favorite sports star and why?
I have a few but football wise it’s Nick Chubb. I just love the way he grinds in silence and let’s his game speak for himself.

Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:
I think a play I’ll always remember was being back to receive a punt with my brother my sophomore year. Just felt really cool even though we were on the field together more times than that.

What are your goals for this coming season?
An ideal goal would be 1000+ rushing yards and 100+ tackles.

What is your favorite Pro team, any sport?
Cleveland Browns

What game, yours, college or pro, was your favorite game and why?
Beating Reynolds after coming back at halftime.

What sports movie would you watch every day if you had to pick one and why?
Any Rocky movie, after watching one I’m ready to run a marathon.

If your mom and dad are screaming at you from the stands, what is it they usually yell?
My Dads usually yelling trying to call plays and my mom stays pretty quiet. Then there’s the usual grandparent chant “GET HIM GET HIM”.

Name one thing that you’d love to do in football that may never happen?
Going undefeated and winning D10.

Who is your mentor, the person you want to be like? WHY?
When it came to football I always looked up to my older brother. He showed me how hard you have to work during the season and off-season in order to succeed.

Name a sport you’d love to play but can’t:
I’ve always been interested in lacrosse but my school doesn’t have it.

What is your most embarrassing sports moment?
Forgetting my helmet for my first ever JV game.

When you aren’t playing, practicing or training for sports, what is your go to activity and why?
I really enjoy just weightlifting in general even if it’s not for a sport.

What is your favorite football memory to date?
Being back for a punt with my brother his senior year.

What is your favorite play to run?
2 Counter.

What scares you the most?
Not having a senior year due to injury.

Music of choice:
I listen to a variety depending on my mood. A little country, a little rap, and a little throwback anything.

What restaurant is your go to when you need a big meal?
Olive Garden is always a good choice.

Which one? Sheetz or Wawa
Sheetz 100%

What is your favorite vacation destination?
I like Florida but at the end of the day as long as I’m with the family, the location doesn’t matter so much.
