Coming off of a 4-7 season, what will it take to turn things around and make so much noise in the playoffs?
It was rough I got hurt in the 4th game and was done for the season the season was going really good up until that point. What it will take for us to make a turnaround this season is playing as a team and just trusting what our coaches have planned for us to win games.

As an athlete, what has been your most embarrassing moment?
The most embarrassing moment for me is in my sophomore year. it was the first game of the season and my coach said if you get gassed tap the top of your helmet. and I tapped my helmet like 4 plays in the game and got screamed at and also didn’t get subbed out.
If the coach tells you to pick a play to run, what play are you running along with the reason?
The play I would pick is 91 dupes. it’s a quick play and either the inside or outside receiver can find a gap and get open.
What is the toughest weather to play in?
The toughest weather would be freezing cold weather with a strong wind.
Have you heard from any colleges? If so, can you name one or two of them?
