LET’S GET TO KNOW KALEB!
Why do you play football?
It’s fun love being out there with the guys and having a brotherhood. And love being able to hit people and making plays!
It’s gamely! What are you looking forward to most?
Winning and showing everyone who I am and who we are as a team!!
Who is your favorite sports star and WHY?
Lebron James because he’s the GOAT
Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:
I’d say the TJ diving pick I had. It was just great. I had missed on multiple picks this year and i missed one earlier that game too. So i got a great chance and got one. Which felt amazing to finally get one that year. Plus we never had beaten TJ so it felt great getting that final big play for us to put them away for good!
What was last years season like for you?
It was great I played well. Played a different position this year at ILB rather than OLB but other than that thought I had a much better year!
What are your goals for the coming season?
I’d say just win. Win every game til there is none left to play.
Personal goals?
All state, All conference, 152 tackles, 400 career, Fab 22
What stadium (HS, College or Pro) would you love to visit for a game?
I feel like Notre Dame would be a crazy visit. I’ve been there before but wouldn’t compare to an actual recruiting visit since i’ve always grown up to watching them!!
Who is your favorite pro team? (any sports)
The Browns for football and then the Lakers or Cavs.
What game (yours, college, pro) was your favorite game you watched and why?
Best game i’ve watched was the Monday night game Steelers vs Browns at Heinz Field. It was a great game. I’m a browns fan so it didn’t go our way. But it was a great game and fun atmosphere.
What sports movie would you watch every day if you had to pick one and why?
The sandlot. So funny and is just always good no matter how old I get!
If your mom and dad are screaming at you from the stands, what do they usually yell?
Get your stuff together.
Name one thing you’d love to of in football that may never happen?
Play in the league!
Who is your mentor, the person you want to be like and WHY?
My Dad. Just want to be better than he was and just make him and my family proud!
Name a sport you’d love to play but can’t?
Lacrosse
What is your most embarrassing sports moment?
Getting tracked down on a Pick I had on a screen play against Hampton.
When you aren’t playing, practicing, or training for sports, what is your go to activity and why?
I’d say just chilling hanging with my friends family or girlfriend. Right now though it’s NCAA 25.
What is your favorite football memory to date?
Throwing the game winning hail mary ball against Hampton to beat them at home. Or catching the game winning ball against West A my sophomore year in OT!

Defensively any blitz, offensively any route that involves us scoring a TD.

Rap music for sure
