_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What is the best part about playing football?
The Best part about playing football is all of the memories and bonds I get to make with various teammates and coaches as well as the things I get to learn for on and off the field with them.

What has been your best memory from football so far?
My best memory from football so far was my Sophomore season I was a swing player and our JV team only had 13 guys available for a Saturday game but we played anyway and despite the loss that game it was closer than anyone thought and it was the most fun I’ve had in a football game in a long time.

Who is your favorite pro athlete and why?
My favorite pro athlete is Adam Thielen, because of his his work ethic to make his dream a reality. Coming from a smaller school he had to work for everything to get to the spot he’s in and he carries that great presence with him, still, whether it’s on or off the field.

Is there any specific person you look up to and use as a role model?
My dad is the person I look up to the most. My dad is the hardest worker I have every met… The amount of things I have learned from him is unbelievable. He never complains about his job or and of the responsibilities he’s tasked with he always takes those things and puts his best effort forward in trying to accomplish them. I hope to be like my dad in the future whether that’s on or off the football field, I want to carry on the work ethic that he carries with him and the kindness he shows everyone around him.

What would be your desired major in college?
My desired major is Sports Journalism

Which side of the ball would you consider your better strength, Offense or Defense?
I consider Offense to be my strengthened side of the ball.

Coming off a year with COVID struggles, what do you think this year will be like?
My “COVID Year” actually got more crazy when I tore my LCL 4 weeks into my season so after all my work and recovery I think this year will be an outbreaking year for not just me but my team as well we have guys who love to grind and compete on the football field.

Favorite place to eat out?
My favorite place to eat out is Carrabba’s.

Favorite sports movie?
One of my favorite sports movies is 23 Blast.

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

Favorite class in school?
English(Writing)

Favorite activity you do during the off season?
Favorite offseason activity is lifting or playing basketball with my friends.

Other than your home stadium/field, what stadium/field would you rate the best?
Hershey Park Stadium

Which opponent on your schedule do you want to play against the most, and why?
I want to play against Cedar Cliff the most this year because they’re our rivals and in my 4 years at Red Land I haven’t beaten them so I want my best and last final shot at a win.

College Offers… If so, by what schools?
No offers as of yet, but I am speaking to Coaches from a few different colleges as well as attending over 8 College camps and showcases this summer.

What are you looking forward to most this year?
Looking forward the most this season to having a standout senior year with a group of guys I love playing with and that I’m excited to get some wins and make some plays with!
