_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Why do you play football?
I play football because of my love for the sport and the life lessons I will learn from my coaches.

Who is your favorite sports star and why?
My favorite sports star is Alejandro Villanueva because he is a hero for our country and a prime example of a quality tackle in the game of football.

Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:
My favorite play I remember is when my coach called an outside zone, I performed a reach block and set the edge, and the running back ran for a 50+ yard touchdown.

What are your goals for this coming season?
My goals for the upcoming season are to win all-conference and win a WPIAL championship with my team.

What is your favorite Pro team, any sport?
My favorite Pro team is the Pittsburgh Steelers hands down.

What game, yours, college or pro, was your favorite game and why?
My favorite game had to be our South-Side Beaver game at home Sophomore year. It was a game that boosted the entire teams morale after a tough season and it really showed what we could do as a team when we come together and perform.

What sports movie would you watch every day if you had to pick one and why?
Friday Night Lights, That group of men together was a special team and it is even better it’s based off a real team.

If your mom and dad are screaming at you from the stands, what is it they usually yell?
Keep working and keep calm.

Who is your mentor, the person you want to be like?
My mentor has to be my father, the lessons he teaches me and the man he is with a military background is the epitome of the person I want to be.

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

Is there anyone in your family, besides your parents, you could consider your biggest fan? Who, Why?
My grandfather, He is at every game and has been by my side since I started football at age 5.

When you aren’t playing, practicing or training for sports, what is your go to activity and why?
You can usually catch me out on the water, when I’m not on the field or in the weight room, I always have a line in the water.

What is your favorite football memory to date?
It’s not a single memory but my entire 8th grade season changed me as a player. I found my true love for the sport and ever since then I’ve been trying to make it to the next level.

What is your favorite play to run?
I like to run screens. Running full force to lay out the first person who crosses my face is just very exciting.

What scares you the most?
Failure, I always strive for the greatest and that fear always makes me work harder.

Music of choice?
I enjoy all types but, I would be lying if I said I didn’t like some country.

What was your favorite gift as a little boy? Why?
A bike, to this day, I still enjoy getting my cardio in by riding a bike.

What restaurant is your go to when you need a big meal?
Texas Roadhouse, Big man, Big Steak!

Which one? Sheetz or Wawa
Sheetz, anyone that says Wawa, is out of their mind.
