My best memory is playing linebacker next to my older brother Gabe in the State Championship game in 2020 and we both later got selected All-State linebackers.

My biggest role model is my father. I admire how hard he works and strives to do the right thing no matter the circumstance. He also has pushed me my whole life to be the best version of myself.

What is your desired major in college? 

I would like to major in secondary education.

In your opinion, where is the toughest place to play? 

In my opinion, the toughest place to play would be at the Selinsgrove field.

What is your personal goal for this year? 

My goal for football this year is All-State linebacker and running back along with winning our school’s first State Championship. I would also like to win a State Championship in wrestling.
