Can you tell us what makes Malvern Prep such a special place to play?

Malvern is a very competitive environment. Everyone who gets a chance to play here has had to work for it. This competition makes everyone better and builds a strong brotherhood within the team. This bond and relationship that I have with my team makes Malvern a special place to play. Also, all of our coaches are extremely committed to our success as a team and are all very passionate. When a player has a goal, they do all they can to help them achieve it.

With your grades a 4.15 GPA you can pretty much go where you want as far as colleges go. Do you plan on playing football in college?

Of course. It has always been my dream to play Division 1 football. I do my best to balance football and academics and work as hard as I can to be good in both fields.

Have you had any offers? If so can you list some of the schools?

As of now, the University of Pennsylvania has offered me.

It is 4th and goal from the five, you are down five. There is time for one more play. Which play do you hope is called?

I know that if it is 4th and 5 I will be able to throw the ball and if we are that close to the goal line then I will look for our best matchup and give my receiver a good ball to make a play on because I trust my receivers to make the play.
In the short season I read where you guys were perfect (4-0). What must Malvern Prep do to continue this success as far as the 2021 season go?

I think that with the pandemic last year, all of us had the mentality of each game could be our last. And even though this is not the case next year, I feel that if we can continue to have this mindset and work ethic going into next season then we will have the same results.

Which class is your favorite?

History

The one team you want to beat but have not done so far?

Last year we missed out on playing our league games. We have many rivalries within the Inter-ac and I can’t wait to finally play them in our upcoming season.

Do you play any other sports at school? Which ones?

I have normally played baseball and basketball along with football. However, due to the pandemic and the loss of camp season last summer, I decided to stop playing these sports and focus myself on becoming the best QB that I can.

Which song if any can get you pumped up?

I do not have a song that pumps me up.

What is a talent that you have that others would be impressed by?

I can dunk a basketball.
