Cornell had an eight-game improvement in 2021 compared to 2019. What will it take for the team to improve on that? For our readers, the Raiders were 9-3 last season.

I feel like all we have to do is come together when we come together we are dominant firing off the ball doing our assignments and we will be just as great as we were last year

Which position do you enjoy the most: tackle or defensive tackle? Why?

I enjoy playing both really it doesn’t make a difference I still get the job done lol

Which of the two positions is the most difficult to play? Explain:

To me, I feel like it’s defensive tackle because you have to read the offense you can’t just go through it because you never know what’s gonna happen next

In looking at the road games you have played, where is the most challenging place to play at? What makes it so tough?

I feel like Rochester because of the fans and the atmosphere

Who is the one team on the 2022 schedule that you most want to beat?
BISHOP CANIVEN

What are your thoughts on the state finals being moved from Hershey?

It’s sad a little because I thought that’s where we were going to play this year it’s a great experience I heard

After the season is over, how important is it for you to be able to play in one or two of the all-star games?

It’s really important to me because I don’t want people to think I’m just out here just to play I wanna put a movie on and let people know that I’m here for a reason

What makes playing for Cornell so special?

Just the team and my coaches it’s a special connection we have and we wanna build this school up and make history together!

What is your favorite sports movie?

My favorite sports movie is gridiron gang

What is the one food you like that most others do not?

Probably sushi

Where is the best place in your town to eat?

The best place is definitely Primanti bros!
