Anything that sticks out to you. I’d have to say the Highland Park game. I had 2 interceptions and one for a pick 6. That was a big moment for the team because we had previously lost to them in round 4 last game, so to be able to go and perform like that was special to me. What was the best part of playing high school football? The best part was the brotherhood. Knowing that every day at school, I was going to...

Playing high school football really helped shape who I am. It taught me discipline—showing up early, pushing through tough practices, and staying consistent even when I was tired or stressed. It also taught me accountability, because my effort didn’t just affect me; it affected the whole team. Football pushed me out of my comfort zone, helped me build confidence, and showed me how to handle pressure and setbacks. Most importantly, it taught me the value of teamwork and leadership—how to support others, communicate, and work toward a shared goal. Those lessons stuck with me far beyond the field. What were your feelings as you walked off the field fo...

Definitely playing the game I love with the kids I’ve grown up with.  What mark do you think your class left on the football programs? A standard that you give everything you have from January to the last snap. Can you explain to the readers what it was like playing o...
