What are your goals for this coming season?

My goals for this coming season are to overall improve my skills and help my team make it far in the season.

Who is the best player you ever lined up against?

My favorite game to watch is the pittsburgh steelers vs the baltimore ravens every year.

What would you do to improve the recruiting process?

I would make it easier for college coaches to find kids that go to smaller schools that may not get looked at as much.

Describe what the perfect teammate is

The perfect teammate to me is a teammate who doesn’t blame other people but they hold you accountable when you don’t do something right or make a mistake.

Tell everyone why you think football is good for a community

I think football is good for the community because if your in a small town like I am. For high school football games, it brings in everyone from the town to have a fun night together watching football.

I’d love to fake a punt and take it in for a touchdown!

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

I would say the person i want to be like the most is my dad. He made many sacrifices for not only me but our country and he treats everyone with respect.

What is your favorite practice drill? What is your least favorite practice drill?

My favorite drill is definitely going on the sideline and practicing my accuracy by kicking at slim angles into the uprights. My least favorite would have to be doing practice drops for punts because of how repetitive they are.

Preseason Two a Days are: 

A great way to develop bonds with not only your teammates but your coaches.

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

My grandma has to be my number 1 supporter. she’s always there for all of my games no matter what sport, what time, or how far away they are.

When you aren’t playing, practicing or training for sports, what is your go to activity and why?

My go to activity is either making money or it is hanging out with my friends and girlfriend.

What is your favorite football memory to date?

My favorite football memory would definitely be kicking the game winner for us against blackhawk.

What is your favorite play to run?

Well since i’m a kicker my favorite play is when I get to go out onto the field to try and convert for 3 points on 4th down.

is a hot dog a sandwich?

Absolutely not

Music of choice:

Country for sure

Best thing you ever got from a teammate? Why?

Best thing i ever got from a teammate was a piece of advice that said, “Nobody is going to or can motivate you except yourself.”

Best Pizza topping? 

Plain old cheese

Which one? Sheetz or Wawa

Sheetz 100%

What is your favorite vacation destination?

Bethany Beach Delaware

Do you remember what the first football game you saw was?

The first football game I ever witnessed was a midget football game before I was even 5
