6’3, 285

What was the high point of your 2023 season? 

(I think the highlight of my season was having 60+ pancakes on the season and my plays when I pull to the corner.)

What are you going to miss the most from the 2024 class?

All of the energy they brought

Coming off a 1–9 season, what do you feel has to change to turn things around this season?

Definitely the mentality

What are your goals for the 2024 season?

My personal goals for the 2024 season are: picking up a couple of offers; adding 50+ lbs to my bench; squatting and clean maxes; and just working on perfecting my craft.

What is the strongest part of your game?

Definitely my pass blocking and being able to pull and get downfield.

Which part of your game must you improve on the most to be a better player?

Definitely run game footwork.

What are you doing during the off-season to improve your game?

I am constantly working on position-specific drills with Hawg Academy with Ohio Dominican legend Perrin Cunningham.

Offensive line or defensive line, which do you prefer to play? Explain

Definitely Oline because I love being physical and being able to pancake people and make plays happen.

Offensive line or defensive line, which is the hardest to prep for?

Oline is definitely the harder position because you always have to keep your head on a swivel, and we are always the last to get in the spotlight.

Where should the state finals be held?

Definitely the Ohio State University

What has been your biggest moment as an athlete?

Well, I love pancaking people 10+ yards downfield, and I love making plays.

I have asked a lot of players and coaches this question, and all of them have answered it, with the exception of three, who just said no comment. The question is, do you think private schools have an unfair advantage over public schools? 

It just depends on the coaches.

What is your favorite class or subject?

Zoology

What is your least favorite type of music?
 
I don’t have any; if it sounds good, I like it.

X-Box or play station?

X-Box all the way.

2024 With Head Coach Jake Heigel from Brockway High School, PA.

  Jake Heigel Brockway High  Head Football Coach Who was the best player you have ever coached against, and what team did he play for? Carson Neely, Port Allegany  Looking back from day one as a coach up to the present, what have been the low and high points of your coaching career? 2020 was a rough first year. We had maybe 15 kids on the roster in preseason sometime in late June. We ended up with probably 6 starters who had never played football in their lives, which isn’t exactly a recipe for success! I was also ejected from our game against Cowanesque Valley. We lost to DuBois 49-0 to end the difficult season... The future did not look so bright. - But fast forward to 2022, where we won our first playoff game 62-6. Followed that up with a win against the reigning western finals champion, Redbank Valley, in a 7-3 fist fight to advance to the D9 championship. In 2023, we won an overtime thriller against DuBois Area 14–13, avenging a 1-point loss at the 1-yard line the year prior.

2024 Interview with TJ Carper Zanesville High School Head Football Coach

  TJ Carper Zanesville High School Head Football Coach We will start with the 2023 season and then work toward the new job. Heading into the 2023 season, the Vikings were coming off a 6–5 season. What were your goals for the team after the last practice heading into your week-one game? We wanted to focus on ourselves. It didn’t matter about anything anyone else was doing. If we could fix what we needed to fix and get better at the smaller things, I felt that we had a really good chance to make history in 2023. Who was the player that stuck out the most after all of the practices were finished leading into that week-one game? Garrett Brown! He is a great kid with a great work ethic. He’s a go-getter with qualities that you want your leaders to have. He did everything the right way!  The Vikings started the season with a loss and ended the season with a loss, winning nine games in between. Of the two losses (Unioto and Gallia Acdemy), which of those teams was the better? Honestl

2024 Interview with Braylon Sturgill from Ironton High School

  Braylon Sturgill Ironton High School LB/FB 2025 What were your goals entering the 2023 season, and were you able to achieve those goals? Our goal every year is simple: win a state championship. We fell short last season, but we are coming back stronger. My personal goals were to be a full-time starter and contribute to my team's success. I was able to start and contribute despite a few injuries that prevented me from being 100% throughout the season. What is it like to play for Coach Pendleton? It’s an honor playing for Coach Pendleton; he knows what it takes to be successful and play at the next level. A coach demands excellence and accepts nothing less. What makes Coach different from other coaches is that he teaches us toughness, and that’s what separates Ironton from other teams. Coach has surrounded us with some of the best staff in Ohio. He is the best coach I have ever played for. What is the hardest part of an Ironton practice? The hardest part about practice is
