What are your goals for the 2024 season?

I want to leave my school with records set and multiple division 1 offers.

What is the strongest part of your game?

The ability to understand what is going on. If the defense is lined up in Cover 3, I’ll know exactly where I should run my route.

Could you share with everyone any camps you have attended, along with the most important things you are learning?

Thomas More, Miami, OH, KSU, MSJ. The most important thing that I am learning is that there will always be people willing to compete, so you have to outwork everyone who comes your way.

What is the toughest part of practice?

Trying to focus on the job at hand. If I’m conditioning, I find it hard to push through and finish. Instead of saying I can do this, I think there are “only 2 left." That’s something that I really need to work on.

What is the worst type of weather to play in?
To me, it doesn’t really matter as long as you’re dressed according to the weather.

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

I don’t really know anyone from other teams. I try to focus on the game and making plays, regardless of the person I’m going head-to-head with.

Grass or turf?

Grass because it’s easier to change levels when running on

What is the toughest part of being a wide receiver?

Not being in my head when it’s time to make a play.

Where should the state finals be held?
Ohio State🥇

If you are invited to play in any of the all-star games after the season, will you?

Yes

What has been your biggest moment on the football field?

Catching the game-winning touchdown in our first game of the year

What is your go-to snack?

Fruits.

Have you ever been to a Bearcats football game?

No

Outside of sports, what do you do for fun?

I spend time with my family, or I go and play basketball or football with my friends. If I’m not doing that, then I’m working in a field to get better.

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. 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
