Who is your favorite sports star and why?

Quenton Nelson because of how physical he plays. I try to model my game after him.

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

Last year during our game against Springside Chestnut Hill when we needed to run the clock by continuing to get first downs. We needed five yards and we ran the ball and got the first down to win the game. Overall it was just a great team win.

What are your goals for this coming season?

To go undefeated and win the Inter AC especially with the group of Seniors we have this year. To win a championship for the group of guys who helped build the program would be great.

What is your favorite Pro team, any sport?

New York Giants. 

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

Rudy because of how much it fires me up especially the night before a game when watching it with my family.

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

My dad and mom are my number one supporters and my dad always walks the sideline and yells “hit somebody” every play.

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

My mom and dad because of how hard they work and how much they sacrifice for me to play football.

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

My brother, Nick, because when I was at the Duke camp this year, he recorded every rep and when I won a rep he ran onto the field to give me a high five.

What is your favorite play to run?

Any play that is running the ball.

Music of choice:

Anything that will get me hype for a game.

What restaurant is your go-to when you need a big meal?

Chipotle

Which one? Sheetz or Wawa

Wawa by far.
