Fondest memory?

I would say my fondest memory would definitely be our win against Wilson during my Junior year, the fact that we came back down 22-8 during our rivalry game makes it all the more memorable.

Role model?

A role model to me would definitely be my father as he has shown me, throughout the many years that I have been playing sports, whether it be football or baseball, that hard work pays off more than talent ever could.

What challenges has this pandemic caused for you?

The pandemic has made it more challenging when it comes to my choices for colleges as I haven’t been able to get visits on campus and get a feel for the colleges that are interested in me.

Any activities outside of football do you participate in?

Outside of football, I try to be a helpful member in my community, I have been a Sunday School teacher for my local church as well as being a flag football coach for one of the local leagues in the Lehigh Valley.

What are you looking forward to most this school year?

For me, I look forward to seeing my friends again and returning to my normal life, hopefully without any restrictions moving forward.

What have you been doing since the quarantine was put in place?

This quarantine has given me a chance to focus in on the mental aspect of my game, with useful items such as film, and being able to decipher an opponent’s gameplan going into our games for this season and from our own perspective as well, with what we can control on our side of the football

How has football developed you as a person?

Football has taught me that persistence can overcome any obstacles or trials that I may face, not only in football, but my life after football as well.

What is your go-to pre-game meal?

My go-to-pre-game meal is definitely Maruchan ramen noodles soup, it’s a quick and effective snack that gets me through all my games

Any superstitions?

I don’t have any superstitions

Your favorite athlete?

I would say my favorite athlete would be Jason Witten, as he shows what true leader should be like, both on and off the field.

What motivates you?

My motivation is the team that I play with, there are like brothers to me and I will stand with them, through the wins and the losses, and I know they’ll be right alongside with me as well.
