Awards  won or earned:I have been voted 2 times 1st team MSL Cardinal Division 7, 1 time 2nd team district, 1 time 1st team district, and 1 time voted honorable mention all-state Ohio.

Post a small recap of last season with personal highlights and any other big moments you have and/or memories you have from last season, whether it be a game, the bus ride to or from the game, or any other thing that sticks out.

My favorite memory from last season is probably when we won our first-ever game on our new fields against Millersport.

When did you start playing football, and who or what got you into the sport?

When I started playingl, I was in kindergarten. What got me into football was watching The Ohio State University play on Saturdays and just wanting to be on the field playing like them.

What keeps you motivated to play the game?

What keeps me motivated to play is the team atmosphere around the sport and the bonding experience that the team has together.

What other sports are you in with Fairfield Christian?

I am involved with golf, basketball, and baseball as well as football.

What are your goals for the 2025 football season?

My goals for this season are to break the single-season passing record and to break the single-season record for tackles.

What goals are you setting for your team?

My team goal for the 2025 season is to win the league for the second time and win a playoff game.

What game are you looking forward to the most? Explain

The game that I am looking forward to the most is the Berne Union game. There is lots of animosity between the two teams, which makes for a fun and competitive game.

Who is the one teammate that is most likely going to do something funny at practice to get a laugh when things are really tense?

The teammates that will most likely make me laugh and the team laugh during a tense practice are TJ Blair and Henry Roberts. They are the type of guys that lighten the mood or do something funny to make the practice less tense.

With this coming season being your final high school football season, have you trained any differently during the off-season?

With this being my high school season, I have trained more consistently just so I’m more consistent in my game and everything comes just a little bit easier.

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

The best player I have ever played against is Landon Sams from Grove City Christian. We have always played each other and always been going at it during the game.

As an athlete, what has been your biggest achievement?

As an athlete, my greatest achievement is being voted honorable mention all-state for football.

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

If I am invited to any all-star games this next year, I will play, it being my senior year.

What makes you a good teammate?

I believe that me being a good leader makes me a good teammate. I want to be that guy people look at and want to be like and want to play like.

Cedar Point or Kings Island?

Cedar Point, the better ride in my personal opinion.

PlayStation or Xbox

I have both, and I would say PlayStation.

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

The last book that I have read was “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

My respect for other teammates, my hard work and dedication, and lifting my teammates up during hard times. What was the highlight of the 2024 season? The highlight of my 2024 season was definitely the 42-yard free kick Coach Daniel Barker had me working on all week before we played that Friday night. For those that don’t know, a free kick happens after receiving a fair catch. Your team can choose to kick a field goal off a kickoff tee from where the fair catch was received. It’s very rarely used in football now. But I did do it. I made a 42-yard free kick, and it made my season! What was the toughest part of the 2024 season? The hardest part of the 2024 season was probably finding out that my best friend ...

Jersey Number: 59 Other sports played: powerlifting Please post a small recap of last season with something like a big game you had, something about a certain game, something from a bus ride to or from the game, or something that sticks out from a practice. A big game last year for me was the game against Eastern Pike; even though the score didn’t show it, I feel like I had a good game on both sides of the ball. Eastern is always a good game. When we last spoke, you had said that 2024 would be the first year playing on the defensive line. So, how did that go? Last year was my first year playing defensive line; it went great. I loved being the one who did the dirty work for our inside linebackers! Last time we spoke, you said one of your goals was to become a leader. Were you able to achieve this goal? Yes, now that I’m considered an “upperclassman,” I feel that it’s my job to lead the upcoming pla...
