Why do you play football?
I play football because as I was growing up, I learned to love the game as I was growing up.

Who is your favorite sports star and why?
My favorite sports star is Zach Ertz because not only is he a good football player, he has his own organization that helps people that are in need.

Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:
My favorite play is when we played Belmont Charter in our Spring 2021 season and our defensive coordinator at the time, Coach Brasche, called for everyone to blitz. I stripped the ball and wasn’t able to recover it, but stopped them from scoring.

What are your goals for this coming season?
My goals for this season is to get better and earn some offers.

What is your favorite Pro team, any sport?
The Philadelphia Eagles are my favorite pro team.

What game, yours, college or pro, was your favorite game and why?
My favorite game was when we played South Philly High School because the whole team did really well and was a really good game overall.

What sports movie would you watch every day if you had to pick one and why?
Remember the Titans would be the movie I would watch everyday because it shows how the team gradually grew a relationship and got better.

Name one thing that you’d love to do in football that may never happen?
Being able to run the ball for a touchdown.

Who is your mentor, the person you want to be like? WHY?
My mentor is my Coach Brasche. He’s a great coach and always willing to help if need be, but doesn’t take any crap from us. He sets a standard for the days practice like any coach should and we always reach that standard.

Name a sport you’d love to play but can’t:
A sport I’d love to play would probably be hockey.

Is there anyone in your family, besides your parents, you could consider your biggest fan? Who, Why?
No because my parents are at all of my games and cheering the team and I on.

When you aren’t playing, practicing or training for sports, what is your go to activity and why?
My go to activity for when I’m not practicing would be going fishing with my friend because it’s always a chill time when we go and allows me to kinda forget everything that’s going on for the moment.
