Why do you play football?
I play football because it’s more than just a game; it’s a challenge that pushes me to my limits both physically and mentally. The adrenaline rush of making a game-changing play. The satisfaction of hard work paying off are unparalleled. It teaches me discipline, teamwork, and resilience, shaping me into a better person on and off the field.
It’s gameday! What are you looking forward to the most?
Personally it’s a tie between our pregame devotional and our entrance onto the field. I love to represent my lord and savior Jesus Christ on and off the field. And there is just no feeling like the atmosphere of high school football when you run on the field with your brothers next to you the feeling is just unmatched.
Who is your favorite sports star and WHY?
I’d have to say Maxx Crosby he has a very inspiring story and he works hard every snap and it shows a lot about his character he has a lot of heart so I try to emulate that into my game

Individually it went pretty well. As a team we had our ups and downs but we never let up and we all had each others backs no matter the outcome

Take it one game at a time every game we have to look at it like we are 0-0.
Who is the best player you ever lined up against?
When the game is on the line, which college/professional coach would you like to call in the play?

NEG Stadium in Houston
What is your favorite Pro team, any sport?
Houston Texans
What game, yours, college or pro, was your favorite game you watched and why?
Millersville vs lock Haven 2023. And that’s because of Chase Alisauckas who is currently playing for the Corpus Christi Tritons was a DE for Millersville he’s mentored me since freshman year and him and I have built a very strong relationship. It was my first time watching him play in person Millersville picked up the W and we had a moment after the game and I will never forget that.
What sports movie would you watch every day if you had to pick one and why?
Waterboy it’s a very cliche pick but you can’t go wrong with it
If your mom and dad are screaming at you from the stands, what is it they usually yell?
My Dad in particular has a very very “noticeable” voice and you can hear him scream before every play “Cmon Cayden!” Simple but it’s definitely heard
Name one thing that you’d love to do in football that may never happen?
Every Kids Dream is to play pro ball and id be lying if I said that isn’t my dream too but we also have to be realistic as student athletes currently 1.6% of ALL college football players go pro
Who is your mentor, the person you want to be like? WHY?
Chase Alisauckas he’s been my day 1 for years we met at the Rising Stars Football Academy camp my freshman year and we’ve never looked back since wether it’s Football advice and workouts or it’s life in general he’s always there when I need him

Well I’m currently and EMT with Landisburg EMS so I love my job with everything in me especially because I get to give back to the community who’s been supportive of me since day 1. And for a bonus activity I love mulching and edging flower beds
