Why do you play football? 

I play football because I absolutely love the game. Love being in the trenches and moving bodies.

What has been your best memory from football so far? 

My three snaps at quarterback in fifth grade.

Who is your favorite pro athlete and why?

Dick Butkus. He was a nasty hard-nosed football player who was straight feared on the field and respected off the field.

Who is your biggest fan and why? 

My dad is my biggest fan. He knows exactly what I have put into and sacrificed to get to the place I am today. He is and always has been there for me to push me when I needed it but also pick me up.

Is there any specific person you look up to and use as a role model?  

My biggest role models are my wrestling coach Nathan Lautar and my football coach Dave Gueriera. I have been wrestling with Coach Lautar since I was six years old and he has always pushed me on and off the mat as well as the classroom. He has taught me to be a leader. Coach Gueriera is just one of those coaches that I would run through a wall for. I know what he does for his guys behind the scenes. Just a great guy and a wonderful coach.

What is your desired major in college?  

I want to study Architecture at UMD.

Coming off a year with COVID struggles, what do you think this year will be like?

Just being back to normal with fans and a full schedule is what I most excited about plus Malvern Prep football is going to be very good this year.

Favorite play to run?

Power or any play with a running back following me.

What is your personal goal for this season?

Continue to play on both sides of the ball and help my team go undefeated and win the Inter-Ac Championship in dominant fashion.

Favorite pre-game meal?

Chicken Parm with motzorella sticks.

Sports movie?

Sports movie is Visionquest.

Sport you’d love to play but can’t?

I loved playing baseball growing up but I had to focus on my other sports.

Most embarrassing sports moment?

The time I got my ankles broken in the open field.

What are you looking forward to most this year?

Just some normalcy and being with my brothers.

Favorite activities?

I love to fish and to continue my dreams of being a country music star.
