Why do you play football? 

I enjoy the intensity involved, the dedication and hard work that is involved, and the life lessons it teaches.

What game, yours, college or pro, was your favorite game and why? 

Our game against Abington Heights High School was great because at this point in the season we were a tiny team size wise but were 5-0. However, they also were undefeated. We were small compared to them, however we had this fire that we could beat them and on that rainy day we came out on top 6-0

What sports movie would you watch every day if you had to pick one and why?

The water boy. I love this movie because he is a guy who is not popular and not accepted at first by his team and was always made fun of. But he didn’t care and would play with such intensity. I find the movie very inspiring.

Who is your mentor, the person you want to be like?

I idolize my entire family because they have always worked their hardest on everything and are always grateful for the little things in life.

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

Boxing

What is your most embarrassing sports moment?

Slipping on the field

Is there anyone in your family, besides your parents, you could consider your biggest fan? Who, Why?

My grandpa. He always wants me to do great at anything I do and will support me in anything. He sets me straight but always gives me confidence.

When you aren’t playing, practicing or training for sports, what is your go to activity and why?  

Fishing is my favorite hobby because I enjoy the thrill

What is your favorite football memory to date? 

Going 9-0 last year as a team that was doubted by so many.

What is your favorite play to run?

Right 44 blast because I get to block straight on

What scares you the most?

Not getting to where I want to be

Music of choice:

I love all music
