_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Why do you play football?
I love it and my dad and I bond over it.

Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:
When I was 9 my peewee team were winning the championship game 7-6 late in the 4th quarter. Canon Mac was driving down the field. They got to around our 30 yard line when I was able to cause a fumble that my teammate jumped on. It sealed the victory for us and we won the championship.

What are your goals for this coming season?
To help my team make the playoffs again.

What is your favorite Pro team, any sport?
Pittsburgh Steelers

What game, yours, college or pro, was your favorite game and why?
8-9 year old championship game.

What sports movie would you watch every day if you had to pick one and why?
Moneyball. I love the true story of Billy Bean thinking unconventionally in order to help the Oakland A’s a competitive baseball team. He looks at the numbers and makes his decisions from there opposed to how baseball is traditionally viewed. I also love Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill as actors.

If your mom and dad are screaming at you from the stands, what is it they usually yell?
Always words of encouragement. My dads favorite phrase for when I’m playing poorly is “Get your head out of your a**!”

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

What is your most embarrassing sports moment?
I was probably 11 or 12 when it happened. I was playing baseball against the other team from my district so I knew all the kids on the other team. We were winning by 1 in the last inning with two outs. I was playing first base. The batter hit a routing ground ball right at me but it bounced off my glove and I was unable to make the play. A run scored and I think we ended up losing.

Is there anyone in your family, besides your parents, you could consider your biggest fan? Who, Why?
My best friend since Kindergarten Jacob Workmaster, he has always been there to support and encourage me even before I began playing football.

When you aren’t playing, practicing or training for sports, what is your go to activity and why?
Like most kids I play a lot of video games. But I have also come to enjoy solving Rubik’s cubes and lately I’ve been learning to play poker.

What is your favorite football memory to date?
Causing the fumble in the 8-9 year old championship game.

What is your favorite play to run?
Any counter where I get to down-block the tackle past the center.

What scares you the most?
The thought that scares me the most is I won’t live up to the potential I know I have. That thought pushes me to be better and work harder so I can live the life I want to.

Music of choice?
90s and 00s Hip Hop

What restaurant is your go to when you need a big meal?
BJ’s

Which one? Sheetz or Wawa
Sheetz
