GETTING TO KNOW CHRISTIAN:
How long have you been playing football?

I don’t model my game after any players, my coaches and my family are my role models.
How do you usually prepare yourself for gameday outside of practice?
I study film all week on the team to see things like how they block and what their favorite moves on defense and offense are. I will also study our film from the week before to see what I can improve on offense and defense. On game day I listen to music and I visualize myself on what I am going to do during a certain play, whether it’s offense or defense.
