_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Why do you play football?
I play football because I love how challenging it is mentally and physically. Every single second in the game matters.

Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:
My favorite football play is when me and my fellow linemen Isaac Bellomo did a perfect double team, and climb block against Cambria Heights. We made a huge whole in the line and our running back ran for a 48 yard touchdown.

What are your goals for this coming season?
My goals for this season are to accumulate 10 or more total sacks.

What is your favorite Pro team, any sport?
My favorite pro team is the Philadelphia Eagles.

What game, yours, college or pro, was your favorite game and why?
My favorite college game was the infamous 2016 white out game between Penn State and Ohio State, where Penn State won in the last minutes of the game with a blocked field goal returned for a touchdown.

What sports movie would you watch every day if you had to pick one and why?
A sports movie I could watch everyday is The Blind Side, because is sheds some light on the hard working trenches and shows how much of a family a football team gives you.

If your mom and dad are screaming at you from the stands, what is it they usually yell?
I am lucky enough to have my mom on the sidelines front and center, and my dad is in the stands both yelling to congratulate me on a tackle or a good block.

Who is your mentor, the person you want to be like?
My mentor is my line coach, Coach Sikora, he shows how ruthless you need to be as a linemen and has experience in the pros. He is a tough, mean guy and teaches you everything you need to know to become a stud linemen.

Name a sport you’d love to play but can’t:
One sport I would love to play would definitely be golf.

Is there anyone in your family, besides your parents, you could consider your biggest fan? Who, Why?
A family member that is my biggest fan is 100% my grandma, she comes and supports no matter how far it is or how cold the weather can be. She always sticks throughout every second of the game and makes sure she says hi and gives me a hug after every single game.

What is your favorite football memory to date?
My favorite football memory is a ritual, I have been doing since I was a freshman, where my mom and I share a hug before the game and before the third quarter.

What is your favorite play to run?
My favorite play to run is out slip n’ slide, where we pass the ball and purposely toss the ball backwards to another receiver to go up the sideline.

Music of choice?
My music of choice is either Country or Hip-Hop.

What was your favorite gift as a little boy? Why?
My favorite gift as a little boy was a surprise given to me, where I was told that I would be working the sidelines as a ball boy for the Ken Lantzy football game along side my mom.

What restaurant is your go to when you need a big meal?
My favorite restaurant to eat at is a small restaurant in Colver, named “Our Place”, it is a restaurant the football team goes out to eat at every single Thursday after our practice.

Which one? Sheetz or Wawa
