Why do you play football? 

Football has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I would always have a football in my hand no matter what I was doing, and sometimes instead of watching cartoons, I would watch the NFL network and see what was happening in the league. Football has just always been a part of my life and I’ve never fallen out of love with it.

What has been your best memory from football so far? 

Becoming the starting quarterback for Mt Lebanon, it was something that I had always dreamed about and hoped for when I was young.

Who is your favorite pro athlete and why?

Russell Wilson. His ability to make big plays in pressured situations is something I definitely admire.  The way he stays cool, calm, and collective is huge when playing Qb.

Who is your biggest fan and why? 

My Grandma, she is the first fan in the stands and rarely misses my games.

Is there any specific person you look up to and use as a role model?  

My Dad, he is a perfectionist and doesn’t let me settle for mediocrity.

What is your desired major in college?  

Engineering, not sure what type yet but somewhere in that category.

Coming off a year with COVID struggles, what do you think this year will be like?

I am really looking forward to not having to worry about Covid anymore and not having to deal with the uncertainty of us having a season.  I can not wait to just get back to playing a full season of football, it will be very exciting to have that back.

Favorite play to run?

Mesh concept.

What is your personal goal for this season?

Win a championship.

Favorite pre-game meal?

Chick-fil-A.

Sports movie?

42.

Sport you’d love to play but can’t?

Basketball, I used to play but stopped.

Most embarrassing sports moment?

Once I fell trying to get a line drive in a little league game.

What are you looking forward to most this year?

Playing a full schedule.

Favorite activities?

Baseball and fishing.
