Coach :Gaige is our most experienced player and is a true competitor. He is a weapon on both sides of the ball and can play numerous positions, and he also is a very intelligent football player who understands the situation of the game. That makes coaches feel better from the sideline. He was named 2nd team all-state safety by Pa Fb News last season. We are going to lean on his leadership and his competitiveness for our team to be successful.
Why do you play football?
I play football because I love the sport! I’ve always loved the sport and just the feeling of walking out before the games and being apart of the team and playing by all my friends.
Who is your favorite sports star and WHY?
I’ve always liked watching Stephon Diggs play and his ability to make plays. I like to watch him run routes and hear him talk about what he see to help me improve my game. I feel he is one of if not the best route runner in the league.
Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:
My favorite play was from last season against Pottsville. I took a screen pass 75 yards for a touchdown. I caught the pass saw a good cut to the inside and took it after that I felt my stride go and was off to the races to the end zone. Felt amazing hearing the crowd get loud. After that the team and I didn’t let go of the momentum!
What was last years season like for you?
It was a building season definitely. This season I got to really show my potential and had some sparks fly here and there. I was definitely happy with my season but definitely still have a lot more to prove. I felt I developed a lot and will continue to do so.
What are your goals for this coming season?
I want to go and win the district championship. I want to have 800 yards plus receiving. 1000 plus yards total offensive yards. 60 tackles 5 interceptions. I also want to have a punt return and kick return touchdown.
Who is the best player you ever lined up against?
I have to give props to Joey Flail. He’s a dog and it shows on the field. He works hard on and off the field and just a great overall player.

Tennessee for a home game when they wear their black uniforms

What game, yours, college or pro, was your favorite game you watched and why?
My favorite game of all time to watch was the pennstate game against Michigan. It was a white out game and on the first play of the game they had to call a timeout because the crowd got that loud. It was crazy to hear and watch in person.
What would you do to improve the recruiting process?
I’m going to camps and training hard this summer. I’m working on my route running ability, release work, my hands, my defense. I’m getting my name and face out there just training to be the best me.
