_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What is the best part about playing football?
I love playing football because of the memories and life long friends I’ve made throughout playing. It also teaches you time management, meaning during the season, making sure your at practice, but also getting your homework done, and making sure your studying to keep grades up.

What has been your best memory from football so far?
I don’t think anything will beat the punt return to win the game against Wilkes-Barre Area.

Who is your favorite pro athlete and why?
Jalen Ramsey, because he plays corner, and he doesn’t care if your his best friend, he’ll treat your like his enemy on the field until the game is over.

Is there any specific person you look up to and use as a role model?
My dad. He was a 2 time All American in college, ran a 4.40 40, and always put in extra work before or even after practices.

What would be your desired major in college?
I plan on going for Finance and Business.

Coming off a year with COVID struggles, what do you think this year will be like?
I feel like as the year goes on, we should have a normal season.

Favorite play to run?
Verticals

Favorite pre-game meal?
Cliff Bar

Favorite place to eat out?
Moe’s

Favorite sports movie?
Definitely Rocky

Pregame music genre to get you pumped up?
Rap/Hip Hop

Favorite class in school?
Gym

Favorite activity you do during the off season?
I lift 5 times a week, and love to golf.

Other than your home stadium/field, what stadium/field would you rate the best?
I think Lake-Lehman has one of the best looking fields, personally I hate turf, but their all black field looks the best.

Most embarrassing sports moment?
Not picking up a kickoff.

College Offers… If so, by what schools?
Few D3, 1 D2 ESU, and I’m supposed to be visiting few D1 colleges within the next couple months.

What are you looking forward to most this year?
I’m looking forward to competing as a team, and trying to win the District championship again.
