LET’S GET TO KNOW GRADY!
Why do you play football?

Who is your favorite sports star and WHY?
Saquon Barkley, he is who I look up to when it comes to doing almost anything. He has shown me what hard work and dedication gets you and that inspires me to do my absolute best and work as hard as I can.
Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:
Against Mccort last season they were 3rd and short. We needed two stops to win the game. Mccort lines up and I know I needed to make a play and when they snap it I flew threw the line and made a tackle for lose to bring up 4th down. They are going for it and it is a pass but we cover it perfectly and the QB tries to run for the first down and our LB George Dill makes the tackle to get the turnover on downs and we won the game.
What was last years season like for you?
Last years season had a lot of ups and downs. I had a pretty good season. I rushed for 1000 yards and almost had 500 yards receiving also finishing with 87 tackles. We came up short of our team goals which I will be working on to push to achieve this upcoming season.
