What makes playing at Hazleton so special?

Playing at Hazleton is nothing like anything else I have experienced. The atmosphere along with history makes it an incredible place to play

In watching your Hudl highlights, I love the way you seem to shed tacklers so easily and that little jump step that takes you in the other directions is as fluent as I have seen. What other strengths do you possess that make you such a good ball carrier?

I feel I possess incredible vision along with patience. These qualities allow me to find the open holes. I also feel I have amazing acceleration, this allows me to squirt through a closing hole and move to the open field.

Which one gets you pumped up the most: breaking off that long run or making that huge hit on defense?

I honestly cannot decide which one gets me more pumped. I guess I would have to determine that based on the moment in the game and the impact either play could make.

What personal goals have you set for yourself as well as goals for the team?

For myself, I have set many goals in the leading aspect. Also, I have set a goal to have another dominant season for myself along with my team. My only team goal is that everyone needs to work hard so we can obtain victories

As far as road games go, where do you enjoy playing the most?

Of all of the stadiums, I have played at on the road I would say Dallas has to be my favorite. Two of my best performances have been played there and the rivalry between us builds the severity of every game.

How important will it be after your senior is through to be invited to play in one or two of the all-star games?

I would absolutely love to play in the all-star games. It would be an honor along with an incredible experience.

What are your thoughts on the state finals being moved out of Hershey as well as where do you, as a player, think they should be played?

I feel moving it out of Hershey takes away some of the history and nostalgia. I feel they should stay in Hershey.

When the game is on the line, why should the coach call your number?

The coach should call my number because I have proven to step up to tough situations. I have also proven to stay calm and deliver what is necessary to get the job done through my hard work.

What is your favorite type of music?

My favorite type of music is rap and R@B.

Have you watched any of the USFL games? What are your thoughts on them if you have?

I have unfortunately not watched any of the USFL games.
