Why do you play football?

I want to play football because I love the sport, and I love the work that goes into it. I also really enjoy the bonds I build with teammates and picking my teammates up when they mess up.

It’s gameday! What are you looking forward to the most? 

Opening kickoff to go set the tone for the game early.

Who is your favorite sports star and WHY?

My favorite sports star is DeVante Smith on the Eagles because he makes good plays and he doesn’t complain when he doesn’t get the ball. He can affect the game in other ways too

Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:

I remember the Philly special the most because I was a young kid and I never saw anything like that before. After the Eagles got that touchdown I had a feeling that they would win that game.

What was last years season like for you?

It went okay we made the playoffs but lost in the first round.

What are your goals for this coming season?

District championship season and overall success and improvement from the team.

Who is the best player you ever lined up against?

Probably my teammate Zach Dresh who hits harder than anyone I know. He brought intensity every practice, was super strong, and he was tough. It was great for me to learn behind him

When the game is on the line, which college/professional coach would you like to call in the play? 

Sean McVay

What stadium, HS/college/pro would you love to visit for a game?

Clemson University because I was always a fan of them as a kid because of my last name.

What is your favorite Pro team, any sport?

Philadelphia Eagles

What game, yours, college or pro, was your favorite game you watched and why?

The Eagles vs chiefs Super Bowl because there was just complete domination from start to finish.

What sports movie would you watch every day if you had to pick one and why?

Thunderstruck because I really like the quote Kevin Durant says and I use it in my everyday life.

If your mom and dad are screaming at you from the stands, what is it they usually yell?

Go Roman!

Name one thing that you’d love to do in football that may never happen?

I would love the block a kick/punt and take it to the end zone for a touchdown.

Who is your mentor, the person you want to be like? WHY?

My dad because he works so hard to provide for my family and he really strives to be better for the people he loves.

Name a sport you’d love to play but can’t:

I always loved baseball but I was never good enough to play

What is your most embarrassing sports moment?

I played awful against Columbia and I missed 5 tackles in one game

If you could only drive one car for the rest of your life, what would it be? 

I really love the car I have now the Lexus Rx 350 it drives really smooth

When you aren’t playing, practicing or training for sports, what is your go to activity and why?

I really like working out with my brother because I like the feel physically stronger while also benefiting my life in my many ways.

What is your favorite football memory to date?
