I was able to take in the Washington/McGuffey game for the first time this past season. The crowd was large and loud. For you guys, how sweet was it to defeat your rival not only during the regular season but again in the playoffs?

Beating our rivals was an entire team win and it was great, however, to beat them again in the playoffs was the extra icing on the cake. The environment was unreal and my brothers and I stood on business.

What mark do you believe your class left on the team?

I feel that the seniors on the team this year were very supportive of the younger guys, the respect and love we have for the team as a whole was amazing.

Of all the away games you played, which stadium was the best to play in, along with the reason why?

McGuffey, the crowd was electric it was pouring rain. We got to play classic western PA football cold and rainy along with a crazy loud crowd!

What will you miss the most about playing high school football?

I’m going to miss sharing the field with my little brother who was our starting center.

What was it like walking off the field after your last high school game?

Well, we lost to Beaver Falls by 2 points at that moment I felt defeated and empty however once I got over the sting of the loss not playing high school football anymore made me feel sad but happy for the brotherhood I’ve had and my coaches who always pushed me to be better! I’m on to bigger and better things.

Can you tell us some of the schools that you have been recruited by?

Seton Hill, Wheeling University, and a few others that I will be going to visit are Clarion, and possibly Ohio Dominican, also have had talks with Pitt.

What has been the best and worst part of the recruiting process?

The best part is getting the call to offer you and the worst part is waiting and then getting back to you about if they gonna offer.

When you are back in Washington, will you try to catch a game?

No doubt about that, my little brother #65 is a monster out on the field I will be back to see him play for sure!!

What position are you getting recruited for?

OT.

Once you are enrolled in school, what do you plan on majoring in?

Sports management

Being that you live in Washington, have you ever been to a Washington Wild Things baseball game?

Yes, growing up my parents always took my brothers and me
