Coach Says: Great kid, was our lockdown corner as a freshman and became our starting QB as a sophomore. Is coming off an injury that took away his junior season so he has some extra motivation heading into this season.
Why do you play football?
My dad got me into football at a young age and I just learned to love the sport. Football has given me so many amazing relationships with friends and coaches and has also filled me with emotions that are unlike any other.
Who is your favorite sports star and WHY?
Bryce Young is my favorite sports star because he’s shown that despite being an undersized quarterback, anything is achievable through hard work. He continues to prove people wrong, and gives all of his thanks and glory to god.
Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:
Week 1 of my freshman year against Muhlenberg in overtime. It was a very intense game that came down to the wire. My older brother recovered a fumble on the goal line on the last play giving us the win. I remember celebrating with my coach Christian Day, and being rewarded with defensive player of the game and getting the team chain.
What was your toughest game in 2025 season?
Lampeter Strasburg week 6. Going against a school with double the amount of kids as you is never easy, especially when they’re the state runner ups. Rainy weather conditions also made it harder.

Win a district playoff game for the first time in our schools history.
Who is the best player you ever lined up against?
Justice Hardy from Wyomissing
What does the word “Coach” mean to you?
The word coach to me means strictly business. Although it’s important to follow coaches instructions and keep everything serious, I also find it helpful to have a close and personal relationship with your coach. A relationship where you can laugh one second and lock in the next is strong.
What is your favorite season of the year?
Fall
