What is the best part about playing football?
The adrenaline before and during the game.

What has been your best memory from football so far?
Beating Midd-West (close game that got chippy).

Who is your favorite pro athlete and why?
Saquon Barkley. I love PSU and if there’s any NFL running back I’m built like, it’s him.

Is there any specific person you look up to and use as a role model?
My brother. He graduated from my small rural high school 8th in the nation in debate, went to Columbia University for his undergrad, placed 8th in nationals in college for debate, and is now going to Stanford Law.

What would be your desired major in college?
I’m not entirely sure about major, but definitely something in the health field considering I’d like to be a Physician or PA.

Coming off a year with COVID struggles, what do you think this year will be like?
I think this year will be largely free of covid restrictions and considering I am fully vaccinated, not really affect me.

Favorite play to run?
This year it is most likely going to be the down because I’m being moved to FB (feature back).

Favorite pre-game meal?
Any meal that doesn’t make me feel like I’m going to throw up before the game.

Favorite sports movie?

“Remember the Titans”

Favorite activity you do during the off season?
I generally lift and attempt to get faster in the off-season.

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

Selinsgrove. They have an extremely nice turf field and they are our rivals (anticipation makes the game better).

Most embarrassing sports moment?
Probably in 8th grade when I threw up a peace sign as I was at the 10 then tripped in a ditch and didn’t score (never doing that again).

What are you looking forward to most this year?

Becoming feature back and carrying the ball. Also playing with my best friends.
