Why do you play football ? Football is really relevant throughout my family. My dad and all of my uncles played football.

What has been your best football memory ? Winning the District Championship.

Who is your biggest fan and why ? My grandma is my biggest fan. Although my Mom and Dad are at every game, my Grandma loves watching me play more than everyone else.

Who is your role model and why ? My Dad is my role model. He’s taught how to work hard and be respectable in everything I do. He also taught me how to react to winning and losing, whether it be sports or real life situations.

What is your desired major in college ? Psychological Engineering

In your opinion, where is the toughest place to play ? In my opinion our field is the hardest place to play for all of our opponents. As for our team I think Western Wayne is one of the tougher environments. It might just be because I was an overwhelmed sophomore making my first start on defense when I last played there, but the long drive and competitive team makes it a tough task.

What is your personal goal for this year ? To be a back-to-back district championship and to win the state championship.

Other than cheese, what is your favorite pizza topping ? Peppers

Which do you prefer, Bone-in, or Bone-out wings ? Bone-in

Most embarrassing sports moment ? Giving up a touchdown on a half back pass my sophomore year when playing corner.

Sport you’d love to play but can’t ? Lacrosse

What is one thing you’ve learned from football that you’d like to pass on to future players… The bonds you create in football are much stronger than any other sport you play.
