Why do you play football?

I play football because it’s fun & I want to have a job I love.

GPA?

4.01 & I made honors.

What offers/interest have you received? 

West Virginia University & University of Maryland have both extended offers. I have received interest from Ivy League schools such as Princeton & Yale as well as FBS programs Mississippi State University, Wake Forest University, Miami University Ohio, Liberty University, Coastal Carolina University, Akron University and Army. FCS schools Holy Cross & Stonehill have also shown love and interest.

What do you plan to major in upon enrolling in college? 

I’m not sure yet but maybe Sports Management.

What is your favorite class?

Currently Algebra

Favorite all-time athlete and why?

Aaron Donald & Jordan Davis. Aaron Donald has great speed & pass rushing moves. Jordan Davis is probably one of the best run stoppers in the league right now.

Favorite HS moment thus far? 

When everyone had Wyomissing beating us in the playoffs and I had a sack & walked away with the win. We shook up PA.

How was the 2022 season for you? 

I was rusty in the beginning of the season but got back into the rhythm of things. We made it to the state championship game, I made all state and I’d say it was a great year.

2023 individual & state goals? 

My individual goals are to get three sacks per game & just be dominant helping my team win the state championship. The team goal is to win the state championship before we leave for college.

Favorite HS game to watch? My team, NG playing anyone lol. My favorite college game is any Ohio State & Michigan game because they try to kill each other. The Eagles Chiefs superbowl was a great game too.

Favorite meal? My mama’s mac & cheese and red lobster biscuits would be a great meal.

Favorite play to run? I love when a team tries to run against me because I love showing the other team’s coaches you can’t get up the middle with me there.

What are your hobbies outside of sports? Weight lifting and gaming.

What scares you the most? 

My parents & failure.

Favorite teammate(s)?

I would have to give you 2 teammates. Sam Hobbs my linebacker that had my back for the whole year and CB Khari Reid. If I pressure the QB to make a rushed throw I know Khari will pick it off.

Did you play little league football & if so what organization(s)? 

I started off with the Olney Eagles, Swag Hawks, Lawncrest Lions, North Philly Blackhawks, & a travel team the Little Quakers.

Why did you choose NG as your HS and what makes the school and program special?

I chose NG because of Coach Albie. My parents love him and I love him too. The coaches Coach Byron and Coach Keem, they have swag. They are young like us so they know how to get us hype.

Cheesesteak or Hoagie & which shop has the best sandwich? 

That’s a hard question to answer. Max’s cheesesteaks are delicous but I could always go for a good hoagie. The gulf on Ogontz Avenue is around the corner from where I live and they make great sandwiches.
