_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Why do you play football?
I have so much love for the game. I have been playing football since 8th grade and have loved every second of it. I also love the competitiveness to it.

Who is your favorite sports star and why?
Has to be Quenton Nelson, he shows that linemen are very valuable to a team and a good offensive line leader can change the attitude for all 5 of the guys up front.

Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:
My favorite play would have to be in 8th grade when I got my first ever sack. It was my first year playing football and it was really cool seeing my parents go crazy for me after the sack.

What are your goals for this coming season?
My goals are to be a team captain and lead Seneca Valley to a championship and make school history.

What is your favorite Pro team, any sport?
The Pittsburgh Steelers 100%. Been around Pittsburgh my whole life so I was raised to root for the Steelers.

What game, yours, college or pro, was your favorite game and why?
By far it is game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals. To see LeBron come back from a 3-1 deficit and bring a championship to his hometown was something special to see.

What sports movie would you watch every day if you had to pick one and why?
I would have to go with Remember the Titans, it teaches you so much about team work, it’s truly a special movie.

What cartoon character do you think your head coach most resembles.
Goofy, because he’s always cracking jokes and he’s funny.

If your mom and dad are screaming at you from the stands, what is it they usually yell?
Most of the time its something positive like yelling good job and nice block, but the other little bit is critiquing me on the field or court because they always want the best out of me.

Who is your mentor, the person you want to be like?
Definitely both of my parents, they both are amazing people and I really aspire to be like them.

Name a sport you’d love to play but can’t:
Golf

What is your most embarrassing sports moment?
When I played soccer when I was around 7 or 8 years old, I got hit in the face with a soccer ball and fell over.

Is there anyone in your family, besides your parents, you could consider your biggest fan? Who, Why?
I would have to say my coaches, they are always rooting for all of us as a team and really love seeing us succeed.

When you aren’t playing, practicing or training for sports, what is your go to activity and why?
Spending time with family and friends. It’s always nice to just kick back, relax, and talk to each other.

What is your favorite football memory to date?
Definitely the first playoff game. The energy in that locker room was insane and everyone was fired up.

What is your favorite play to run?
Not going to give away any of our plays but, when we get to pull its always a fun play.

What scares you the most?
Failing my teammates and not being a good leader.

Music of choice?
Drake, easy! He’s the best in the industry.

What was your favorite gift as a little boy? Why?
My favorite gift was when I got to go to Disney World for my 4th birthday, it was so fun and I don’t know if anything can top that.

What restaurant is your go to when you need a big meal?
Definitely Buffalo Wild Wings. Some good wings are always a good go to. I always get either Asian Zing or Honey BBQ, those are the two best flavors.

Which one? Sheetz or Wawa
Sheetz, without a doubt!
