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.

Last season was a hard pill to swallow because we went 0-10, but I still tried to keep a positive attitude and keep the boys' heads up.

What do you believe it is going to take for Thomas Worthington to have a winning season?

We have to have 11 hats at the ball and be more aggressive against other teams and go 100% and finish to the whistle.

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

Elijah Spruill, Canal Winchester.

How important is it for the team to get along on the field as well as off of it?

It is very important that we get along so we can have a positive game coming forward.

What have you done during the off-season to help your game improve?

A lot of footwork and lifting.

What is the best part of being a lineman?

Moving people against their will

What is the toughest part of being a lineman?

The dirty work in the trenches.

What makes you a good teammate?

I try to communicate with my teammates on and off the field, and I try not to just focus on me and be a team player.

Would you rather play your rival week one or week ten? Explain?

Week ten, we can get out all of our sloppiness.

What has been your biggest moment as a football player?

2nd play of the game against Canal Winchester: a screen to Dominic Parini for a touchdown.

What has been your most embarrassing moment as an athlete?

Going 0-10.

Who is the toughest teammate to square up against during practice?

Lee Nang.

Why should a college coach recruit you?

I’m coachable, I respond to criticism, and I never settle; I’m always looking to get better. I don’t take plays off, and I don’t make excuses. I’ve faced top talent and held my ground. Most importantly, I understand that the O-line is about being unselfish, smart, and relentless.

Outside of sports, what are you doing for fun?

Hanging with family friends.

What is your favorite class or subject?

Biology.

Have you watched any of the UFL spring football games?

No, I have not.
