Why do you play football?

When I was seven years old I started, I just liked hitting people and letting out my anger on the football field. It also teaches you how to be a good person.

What has been your best memory from football so far?

Playing against Wyoming Area.  Also when I was in the eighth grade I played for the junior Patriots and we went to the Super Bowl and I scored two touchdowns and the final score was 16-8 and that was one of the best memories.

Who is your favorite pro athlete and why?

Ray Lewis, Looking at his videos gets me more hyped, and looking at his YouTube videos there are key things that make me a better athlete.

My dad, he’s always been there since day one.
