Why do you play football?

I think it is fun and a good way to relieve stress.

Who is your favorite sports star and WHY?

Ryan Crouser is my favorite because he is amazing with shotput and discus.

Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:

There was a game sophomore year where I had a great tackle. I don’t remember who it was against but someone else tripped and grabbed the running back’s ankle and I came through the line and plastered the kid.

What was last years season like for you?

Last year’s season was more of a graduation season for me. I proved myself on defense well enough to play every game on defense and now I am a senior with a starting spot because I proved myself.

What are your goals for this coming season?

My goals this year is to dominate the line of scrimmage. I want people to know my name and number when I step onto the field.

Who is the best player you ever lined up against?

The best player I have probably went up against was #73 last year against West Shamokin.

What game, yours, college or pro, was your favorite game you watched and why?

My favorite game to watch was probably my game against River Valley. I had a really good defensive game.

Describe what the perfect teammate is

A perfect teammate is someone who picks others up when needed.

Tell everyone why you think football is good for a community

Every Friday night, everyone gathers at the stadium to watch us play football. It helps people get together and connect over a game no matter how good or bad.

Name one thing that you’d love to do in football that may never happen?

I would love to run just 1 jet and get the ball.

Who is your mentor, the person you want to be like? WHY?

Coach Rich Johns has helped me ever since he first started working with us last year. He has helped me come a long way from how I was. But, My dad has also been a great help teaching me both the easy and the hard way. My dad is who I really want to be like.

What is your favorite practice drill? What is your least favorite practice drill?

My favorite practice drill oklahomas. My least favorite is probably foot work drills.

Preseason Two a Days are:

Preseason Two a Days are rough. We really only do them when we go to camp but they are rough.

When you aren’t playing, practicing or training for sports, what is your go to activity and why?

My go to activity outside of sports is probably working on fourwheelers and vehicles.

What is your favorite play to run?

Skins Left is probably my favorite. I get excited any time coach calls it because I get to run full speed into an unknowing victim.

is a hot dog a sandwich? If not, then why?

When you think of it, technically a hotdog is a taco. A taco has three sides, left, right, and the bottom. Therefore, a hotdog is a taco.

Music of choice:

My music of choice is country.

Best pizza topping?

Bacon has to be the best pizza topping.

What is your favorite vacation destination?

My favorite vacation destination is probably Tennessee. We had a big lodge up in the smokey mountains where we could see over every town and little hill.
