_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What is the best part about playing football?
My favorite part about playing football is the life lessons you can learn while you’re doing what you love with people that support you.

What has been your best memory from football so far?
Scooping up a fumble during the backyard brawl last year and taking it 65 yards for a TD.

Who is your favorite pro athlete and why?
TJ Watt is my favorite athlete because he plays for the Steelers, my favorite team, and he works hard to be the best at what he does.

Is there any specific person you look up to and use as a role model?
Chris McCartney, my neighbor, youth football coach and a Bellwood alumni. He has taught me almost everything I know about the game of football and is one of my biggest supporters.
