Why do you play football ? Because you just get to go out there and hit people as hard as you can every Friday night, there is nothing better than that.

What has been your best football memory ? When our team made a comeback and picked off the ball at the goal line to seal the game after being down 16-0 at halftime.

Who is your biggest fan and why ? My dad, he started coaching in little league because of me and has coached me all the way up through high school.

Who is your role model and why ? My dad, he has always been there for me and made me the man I am today.

What is your desired major in college ? Mechanical Engineering

In your opinion, where is the toughest place to play ? Cornerback, because you need great technique and there is a lot of pressure on you.

What is your personal goal for this year ? To make history and win a WPIAL Championship for our team.

Other than cheese, what is your favorite pizza topping ? Pepperoni

Which do you prefer, Bone-in, or Bone-out wings ? Bone-in all the way!

What would be your best dish if and when you were to cook a meal ? I make a mean steak.

Most embarrassing sports moment ? Getting mossed at my 7 on 7.

Sport you’d love to play but can’t ? Hockey, I love that they get to hit all the time just like football.

What is one thing you’ve learned from football that you’d like to pass on to future players… Don’t let anything get in the way of you achieving your goals, always play hard, fast, and physical.
