Let’s get to know a little more about Brock:

Why do you play football ?
I play football for two main reasons, my first reason being the fact that when I’m on the field, in the weight room, or simply watching film, I don’t have to worry about anything besides football. My second and larger reason for playing football is, the camaraderie that comes with being apart of a team. The bonds I’ve built with my teammates over the years are tighter then almost anything, sharing plenty of moments together. I know that win or loose, I have my brothers backs and they have mine, and that fact alone is more than enough of a reason for me to play.

Who is your favorite sports star and why ?
My favorite spots star is Cam Heyward. I’m a Pittsburgh Steelers fan and to me, Cam is a player you can always rely on when he’s on the field. Him and TJ Watt are a deadly duo. Finally, Alex Highsmith, is a very underrated player on that dominant Steelers defensive line.

Do you have a favorite play you remember the most ? Explain:
Fought and won against a reach block while at defensive tackle, clearing up a lane for my linebacker to run in and blow up the play for a big stop on third down.

What was last year’s season like for you ?
Last year’s season was fuel for this year. Last year was highly disappointing, and whenever I feel demotivated I tend to look back on old film or just simply think about how last year went, and that motivates me to continue to grind every chance I get.

Who is the best player you have ever lined up against ?
Sheadon Carr from Palisades.

What stadium, (HS/College/Pro) would you love to visit for a game ?
I would love to visit Penn State during a whiteout and sit in the student section.

What is your favorite Pro Sports team(any sport) ? Explain:
The Pittsburgh Steelers. Growing up I was surrounded by Eagles fans, so to be different, I went with the other Pennsylvania team.

What game, yours, college or pro, was your favorite game you watched and why ?
The 2009 Super-Bowl where the Steelers beat the Cardinals.

What sports movie could you watch every day if you had to pick one, and why ?
The Longest Yard, I think it’s hilarious.

Name one thing you’d love to do in football that may never happen ?
Score a touchdown.

Name a sport you’d love to play but can’t:
Hockey

What is your most embarrassing sports moment ?
That time I false started and then tried to blame it on the opposing defensive lineman.

Tell us something about playing for Saucon Valley that stands out, that others may not know ?
We’re a small school so you really get to know and make strong bonds with your teammates much better than you would a larger team.

When you aren’t playing, practicing, or training for sports, what is your go to activity, and why ?
I love to go out and relax in my pool on a warm summer day, or go fishing when I have some time to kill.

Which one, Sheetz, Wawa, or Rutters ? Explain:
Wawa, I grew up in Philadelphia area so Wawa is the only right choice.

What is your favorite vacation destination ?
Any beach !

Favorite Band/Musician ?
Zach Bryan

NBA, NHL, MLB, NCAAF, NFL, Which league is the best and why ?
NFL and the NHL, both are super competitive and super fun to watch.

Best Video Game Console(XBox/Playstation/Sega/Atari/etc) and why ?
Playstation, it’s got the best games.

Name one thing in life(NOT SPORTS RELATED) you would like to achieve:
My own family.

Location you think would be the best place to live(ie: island, mountains, city, etc) ? Explain why:
I’d love to live on farm land, own a bunch of land and raise a family.
