Why do you play football?

I love not only the experience and excitement of being on the field preforming in front of a bunch of people, but i also love playing with all of my friends. I love to push myself through difficult situations, while hoping at the same time to make sure my name is known.

It’s gameday! What are you looking forward to the most? 

I look forward to really just playing the game. I always prioritize what my job is, instead of trying to make the game all about me.

Who is your favorite sports star and WHY?

My favorite sports star is Ray Lewis. I really admire his motivation and exhilaration before and during everyone game he played.

Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:

I would have to say the oopdie doop we did in one of our games. It was when we all almost did ring around the Rosie but then quickly hurried to our spots and did a counter-like play, while confusing the team.

What was last years season like for you?

It was absolutely amazing. I enjoyed it very much, getting very close with my team while pushing towards victory game after game. If I were to think of a sports season, it would 100% be that one.

What are your goals for this coming season?

My goals are to get our redemption at the WPIAL championship again.

Who is the best player you ever lined up against?

The best player I have lined up against was Tony Porada, From Neshannock High school.

What stadium, HS/college/pro would you love to visit for a game?

I would like to visit a pennstate, pitt, university of miami, and West Virginia game.

What is your favorite Pro team, any sport?

I like pitt and pennstate, mostly because of my hometown.

What sports movie would you watch every day if you had to pick one and why?

Creed or Rocky because I find it very interesting to watch boxing.

If your mom and dad are screaming at you from the stands, what is it they usually yell?

They always support me by yelling my name and cheering, “Let’s Go Tyler!!”

Name one thing that you’d love to do in football that may never happen?

Run the ball or go out for a pass.

Who is your mentor, the person you want to be like? WHY?

I have too many mentors, but I wouldn’t necessarily want to be someone. I have always wanted to be my oneself, but still be great just from that.

Name a sport you’d love to play but can’t:

Spike ball.

What is your most embarrassing sports moment?

Missing some wide open tackle or sacks.

If you could only drive one car for the rest of your life, what would it be? 

I wouldn’t care what car I drive, as long as it gets me to my destination
