Why do you play football ?
Because I have fun playing the sport, there’s no better feeling then running into the end zone or throwing a touchdown on a Friday night in front of all those people.

Who is your favorite sports star and WHY ?
I would have to say Trace McSorely, not only was he a superstar, but he had heart and that’s something that is better then being a superstar. I still remember when I was really young and they played in the Citrus Bowl, he believed that he tore something but refused to come out of the game.

Has to be from week five against Panther Valley, when I got out of 4 tackles and threw a touchdown pass.

The New York Giants, just because of Saquon Barkley .

Penn State vs Ohio State when Penn State blocked the field goal and took it back for a touchdown. I was at the game, definitely the best game I’ve seen.

Benchwarmers, it has to be the funniest sports movie I have ever watched.
