Why do you play football? 

Football gives me a feeling that I can’t experience anywhere else in life. It’s something indescribable that makes me love this game.

What has been your best memory from football so far? 

Beating Tyrone my Sophomore year in double overtime. It was my first time taking a larger role in a varsity game, and I’ll never forget it.

Who is your favorite pro athlete and why?

Mike Mauti has been my favorite since I was younger. He was great at Penn State, he embodied what it meant to be a leader. He then carried that into his NFL career. He is now retired.

Who is your biggest fan and why? 

My mom never misses a game. She’s always there for me.

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

My dad has made me who I am today. I definitely look up to him.

What is your desired major in college?  

Political Science.

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

This year will be the most exciting year of them all. My senior season, the crowds are back. I can’t describe how excited I am to have everything back how it was.

Favorite play to run?

Tight end pop pass. Every tight end’s favorite play.

What is your personal goal for this season?

Personally, I want to prove to some people that I am what they said I couldn’t be.

Favorite pre-game meal?

Mac and Cheese is always the go-to for pre-game.

Sports movie?

Rocky IV

Sport you’d love to play but can’t?

I love to play pick-up basketball and watch March Madness, but honestly, I can’t make a shot to save my life.

Most embarrassing sports moment?

Tee-ball, swinging and letting go of the bat and hitting my coach on accident.

What are you looking forward to most this year?

I’m excited for this team in general. We are some seriously hard workers. No quit and no excuses in this team.

Favorite activities?

Lifting weights and hanging out with friends.
