Why do you play football? –

I love the game of football because you create brothers for life in your teammates from spending so much time together.

Who is your favorite sports star and why? –

My favorite sports star has to be Carson Wentz.

I look up to Carson as an athlete and as a role model because of the way that he carries himself on and off the field. As a Christian athlete it is very inspiring to watch someone like Carson who is very open with his faith and uses his fame in order to help spread his faith and serve others.

What game, yours, college or pro, was your favorite game and why? –

My favorite football game is the Penn State vs Ohio State football game in 2016. I was at this game with one of my good buddies and for being my first-hand experience of a Penn State white out I was truly in awe. The atmosphere of the game was incredible let alone the crazy game that took place.

What is your favorite Pro team, any sport? –

My favorite pro team is the Philadelphia Eagles. What I love so much about the Eagles, besides the fact that I live in Philadelphia, is that the Eagles have a certain locker room brotherhood that is very inspiring to see. Especially for being pro team, it is very rare that you see so many guys that care so much for each other and are not afraid to speak their minds and opinions knowing that all their teammates will have their backs.

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

My favorite sports movie is Creed. It always finds a way to get me fired up.

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

My parents have been my biggest mentors and role models since day one and I thrive to be like them through my hard work and decision making everyday.

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

If I would have to pick a sport to play it would have to be basketball. I love the game of basketball and enjoy playing it on my free time.

Is there anyone in your family, besides your parents, you could consider your biggest fan? Who, Why? –

My youngest sister Naomi would definitely be my biggest fan. She’s always out at every game she can make, wearing some Haverford gear with my number on it cheering me on.

When you aren’t playing, practicing or training for sports, what is your go to activity and why? –

I love hanging out with my friends and I am always with them playing some pickup basketball or playing video games or doing whatever together. Besides that though I enjoy playing golf in my free time as it is a very relaxing sport that gets my mind off my busy schedule for a minute.

What is your favorite football memory to date? –

My favorite football memories are from when I used to play pop warner and my dad was the head coach. We always had a lot of fun together watching film on school nights and going to practice together.

What is your favorite play to run? –

Strong Safety Blitz off the edge for sure.

What scares you the most? –

I hate snakes and spiders.

Music of choice: –

I like listening to rap and R&B, but honestly, I enjoy all kinds of music it all depends on what mood I’m in that day
