_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Why do you play football?
The competition and adrenaline is the key reason. Nothing is better than putting a helmet on, during a Friday night.

Who is your favorite sports star and why?
Justin Fields is my favorite sports star. I am a huge Buckeyes fan. Fields is a great quarterback who I look up to for his athletic ability to play the position and play it well.

Do you have a favorite play you remember the most? Explain:
The 1 yard stop from the goal-line against clarion to tie the game by 2. They stopped us and we lost by 2 points at the one yard line. That game fueled me each week to go out and compete, to put everything I have to play them again in the playoffs. Then we beat them in the playoffs.

What are your goals for this coming season?
To pass for 2,000 yards and have zero interceptions.

What is your favorite Pro team, any sport?
Patriots, and Ohio State

What game, yours, college or pro, was your favorite game and why?
The Clarion game where we lost by 2. As I said, it made me a better player and made me play the absolute best I’ve ever played.

What sports movie would you watch every day if you had to pick one and why?
Greater, Brian Burlsworth, was a great player and leader. He had a lot of faith in god as so do I.

Is there anyone in your family, besides your parents, you could consider your biggest fan? Who, Why?
All of the young kids coming up through the system. They look up too me and want to be just like me.

When you aren’t playing, practicing or training for sports, what is your go to activity and why?
Fishing, it’s peaceful and lets the mind at ease.

What is your favorite football memory to date?
Our last game last year against Wilmington and having the seniors leave us. The moment was so real and now I am the leader.

Any pass play

What scares you the most?
I do not have a fear in the game of football.
