Let’s Get to Know A Little More about Brad:
Why do you play football?
I play football because of the family that Panther Valley has made. I wouldn’t want to play with anyone else besides my teammates.
Who is your favorite sports star and why?
George Pickens, his grit and love of the game is unmatched in the NFL.
Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:
The play I remember the most was against Salisbury, where I pulled as a guard, and I absolutely flattened the kid. After he was on the ground, I hit a little celebration, because it was the first game of the year, and then he stood up and pushed me, and my teammates and I just started laughing. It was just the funny moment after the play that made it memorable.
What was last year’s season like for you?
It was definitely one I was hoping for. Mainly because I reached the majority of the goals I was aiming for.
Who is the best player you have ever lined up against?
When I played center as a Freshman, we played Schuylkill Haven, and I had to go up against their nose guard. He was by far my hardest challenge ever in a game.
What stadium, (HS/College/Pro) would you love to visit for a game?
I would love to visit LSU for a game, since I already visited what is known for the best environment in college as Penn State, might as well want to visit #2 down in Death Valley.

Pittsburgh Steelers, ever since I was a child I was a fan, and it’s kind of hard to leave the team when you have the most Super Bowls in the NFL.

2016 Minnesota @ Penn State. I was actually at that game in State College where Saquon walked it off in OT.

The Waterboy, because of the funny moments and the underdog story.

Lacrosse.
What is your most embarrassing sports moment?
There’s nothing more embarrassing than getting juked, or getting pancaked, it has happened to everyone.
When you aren’t playing, practicing, or training for sports, what is your go to activity, and why?
I’m a big movie/documentary watcher, love to learn new things to tell my grandmother.
What is your favorite play to run ?
Any play where I know the kid in front of me doesn’t see me coming, love it when they don’t know.
