Losing our first game of week 5 to Olentangy Berlin after starting the season at 40 and ending off 5-6.

What are your personal goals for the 2024 season?

Start varsity at Olb and Wr, but also be the most versatile player on the field.

What goals will you set for your team this season?

Regionals and state championships

Who is the best player you have faced in a game, along with the team he played for?

Probably Braydn Fleharty from Bradley Man. I didn’t see the field that game, but he was the most electric and talented guy I saw that season, and he’s a multi-sport athlete with a 4.5 gpa and committed to play qb at Yale. He also has running skills like Michael Vick and Prime Can Newton.

Which game are you looking forward to the most this season? Explain

Pine Richland Week One. One of the best teams in Pensalvanyia has won eight state titles in like ten years. 

What has been your biggest moment as an athlete?

We won 4x4 at Marysville because everyone was running sub 51, 52, 54, and 55, and we all split under 59 and won the whole meet for our 4x4. Me and my guys got in a circle and prayed,then I gave a motivational speech. We were the underdogs, but we just went out and said, Let’s have fun, even if we don’t win. Nobody expected us to win, but we did. We really did it, which flipped a switch in my athletic career.

What has been your most embarrassing moment as an athlete in any sport?

I busted my but first time doing 110 hurdles and got Dqd switching lanes the same night as the 4x4 Marysville meet, which was actually this week.

Out of all of the road games you have played in, which stadium had the best overall atmosphere, along with the reason it was so good?

Probably Dublin Jerome, we were 2-0, and they were 2-0 at the time, and they were talking smack on the barstool, so we had to beat them. We ended up beating them 13-17, and that was a huge moment in the 23-24 season. It was televised on the CW Columbus; it was great and made me fall in love with the game even more!

Which road game do you look least forward to, along with the reason?

Honestly, each game has meaning to it this season, especially for me since it’s supposed to be my breakout season, so every game is super important. You would have to ask me that once we get closer to the season.

What is the strongest part of your game?

My mentality,leadership, intensity, speed, strength, loudness, and ability to hit hard and tackle.

Do you feel that private schools have an unfair advantage over public schools?

No, I feel like if you have the money to go to a private school, go for it. More power to you!

Who is your favorite athlete?

Kobe Bryant,Ray Lewis, or Michael Jordan

What toppings go on your pizza?

Sausage,green pepper, and pepperoni.

What was the last book you read, along with the author?

Scar tissue by Anthony Kiedes
