Quarterback

2025

6’0 190

What is the toughest part of practice?

I would say going against our defense in our team period

Which part of practice is your favorite?

7 on 7 because it helps me go through my progressions better.

What did you learn about yourself during the 2023 season that you will be able to use this year to be a better player?

That having composure keeps you mentally sharp as well as your team.

What were the high and low points of the 2023 season?

High points: beating Jackson in the playoffs
Low points: losing to Hamilton and Watterson

With this being your final high school football season, have you found yourself preparing differently? Explain

I’ve definitely worked harder this off-season than I ever have before, so I’m hoping it all shows this year.

As an athlete, what has been your biggest moment in any sport at any age?

Definitely, throwing a touchdown in the state championship is something I will never forget.

You are coming off a season that saw you throw for over 2,000 yards with 29 plus touchdowns, and you added four rushing scores to that. What are your goals for the 2024 season?

First, to win the state championship, and then, individually, I want to be the Division 3 All-Ohio Offensive Player of the Year.

What is the strongest part of your game?

I would say my accuracy and ability to lead 

What have you been able to accomplish during the off-season that will allow you to be a better player and teammate?

I worked super hard, and I feel like my teammates have seen that, so I think they have put their trust in me, and being a team captain last year also built the foundation of my team trusting me.

Would you rather open your season with your rival or close out the season against them? Explain

Close out against them because I want to play them at their best, and we want to be at our best as well.

After the season is over, if you have earned an invite to any of the all-star games, will you play?

It depends on how I’m feeling after the season, but I definitely will look into it if I do get any invites.

Can you share some of the colleges you are hearing from?

I’ve heard from some of the MAC schools and some FCS schools, but other than that, it’s been a couple of D2 schools like Ohio Dominican, Uindy, etc.

What is your favorite type of music?

Gospel music

Have you ever gone to a Columbus Clippers game?

I’ve been to a couple of games, and they are pretty fun to watch.

What is the one sport you cannot watch on TV?

I would say golf.

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.

Small school football

Image
  As the 2024 football season approaches, I want to say thank you to all of the players, coaches, cheerleaders, band members, officials, and all of the school staff for the good times you are about to give thousands of fans this year. As a fan and a person who covers games, I often get asked why I go to as many smaller school games as I do, and I always tell those asking that there is something special about driving into a small town or village and seeing signs wishing the team well. The crowds might not be as large as the bigger school games, but to a certain extent, they are more into it. I believe that is because almost everyone knows everyone, and it is really a community by itself. The players put their pads on the same as the players at the bigger schools, and they, as with the bigger schools, give it their all as much as they can. The biggest difference some will say is talent; others will say size and speed; but more often than not, at a small school, most of the players are
