Why do you play football? 

I play football because I have been around it my whole life and my dad is my coach. I love the game and just love having memories that will last forever with my friends and brothers. 

What has been your best memory from football so far? 

Winning football games. The fun and success that comes with it just makes it so much better. So when we are winning I am having fun. 

Who is your favorite pro athlete and why?

Aaron Donald, he’s a big guy and plays football the way it should be played. 

Who is your biggest fan and why? 

My mom, she supports me through everything.

Is there any specific person you look up to and use as a role model?  

My dad, he is very important to me whether it is on or off the field. 

What is your desired major in college?  

Civil Engineering or some sort of Medical. 

Coming off a year with COVID struggles, what do you think this year will be like?

I would love to get back to normal. We are blessed to have an off-campus facility and we’ve been rolling like normal. Just hoping for the best.  

Favorite play to run?

I like running waggle pass. I like to get out on the edge. 

Favorite pre-game meal?

People call me crazy but I always get Subway. It’s always a grilled chicken on flatbread, it’s right beside the stadium. 

Sports movie?

Friday Night Lights.

Sport you’d love to play but can’t?

Golf.

Most embarrassing sports moment?

I was on defense and I did the seat roll. It looked absolutely terrible and the ball was snapped mid-roll and I got blown up. 

What are you looking forward to most this year?

Help my team as much as I can and get over the hump to win a playoff game and a District Championship. 

Favorite activities?

I like to swim, ride my bike and hang out with friends and family.
