How long have you played football, and why will you continue to play?

I have played since I was 5 years old in kindergarten, and I will continue to play because I love the sport and love working for it.

With this being your final high school football season, are you preparing any differently? Explain

Yes, I am preparing differently by sharpening my speed and strength to become a player that people will be surprised by. I am also preparing myself by having faith in myself and always betting on myself and my team to win.

What was the high point of the 2023 season?

Having a winning record and going undefeated at home.

Which game are you looking most forward to, along with the reason why?

I look forward to the North Decatur game because the atmosphere of that game is crazy and it gets me pumped.

What is the toughest part of a South Decatur practice?

The toughest part is the conditioning, for sure. It’s pretty rough. 

What is the toughest part of being a running back?

Elbows, hands, and knees were bruised after the game.

What is the best part of being a running back?

Running people over and scoring touchdowns.

What have been the highlights of your football career so far?

Junior All-State, Max Preps Ath of the Week, OPOY 2022 and 2023, and breaking rushing records.

What are your goals for the 2024 season?

Break more rushing records—2,000+ rushing yards—and lead the state in rushing yards.

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

Reid Messer is a heck of a player; he played for North Decatur.

Can you share with the readers some of the camps you have attended, along with the biggest thing you have taken from them?

UIndy Mega Camp, Georgetown College Camp, and Prep Redzone Camp are a few of many others. The biggest thing I have taken from them is to always be open to criticism from coaches.

If you are hearing from any colleges, would you care to name some of them?

San Diego State University, Hanover College, Wabash College, Georgetown College, Mount Saint Joseph, and Knox College are a few.

How important is it to you to earn an invite to the North vs. South game?

It’s really important to me. It’s a great opportunity to play with the best. I’ve worked hard for this. 

What is your favorite type of music?

Rap music is my favorite. NBA Youngboy, Jdot Breezy, and Bossman Dlow.

What goes on your burger?

Occasionally, I’ll put Chick Fil A sauce on it, but mainly ketchup.

Who is your favorite athlete?

Bijan Robinson is a great RB.

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.

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.
