How long have you played football, and what keeps you playing?
My 5th year playing football. What keeps me playing is the amazing feeling on Friday nights that make me have chills during school.

With this being your final season of high school football, are you approaching things any differently than before?
I’m approaching this season with the most work I could possibly put in to shine this year.

Which side of the ball do you prefer to play, and why?
I prefer defense because your part always matters no matter what you do.

What are you looking forward to the most this season?
What I’m looking forward to the most is experiencing our new head coach Beeler.

When the game is on the line, do you want to be on offense or defense? Why?
I would wanna be on defense in a game on-the-line situation because I think our defense can be unstoppable when we need to be.

Can you tell the fans what the hardest part of being a three-sport athlete is?
The hardest part of being a three-sport athlete is not having time off like other athletes.

What are your goals for the season as well as the goals you have set for your team?
My goal is to make all SVC and my goal for my team is to beat our rival Bainbridge

Of all the road games you have played, which stadium is the toughest to play at, and why?
Westfall is by far the toughest because of the wind you experience there

What advice would you give to that first-year starter right before he took the field for the first time at the varsity level?
For any new starter coming in I would tell them to trust their coach because they are teaching them right.

Where do you think the state finals should be played?
I think the state finals should be played at the Horseshoe.

What are your thoughts on 16 teams from each region making the playoffs?
I like the 16-team playoff because it can make the season last longer

What toppings go on your perfect pizza?
My perfect pizza would have to be a chicken bacon ranch pizza
