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.

One of the best memories was last season when we spent the weekend at a military base and got to compete and build our overall team bond, and it was just a great experience.

What are your goals for the 2025 season?

I want the team to be successful, mostly, but also to be one of the top receiving tight ends in the state.

Do you think private schools have an advantage over public schools?

I’m not really sure because there aren’t really a lot of private schools in western Kentucky.

How did you get into being a long snapper?

One of my coaches hooked me up with Graham Lyell, who was the long snapper for Bethel University, and it kind of just clicked for me, and I’m extremely grateful for him working with me.

How much time do you practice long snapping?

I try to nap 2-3 times a week after workouts or practice.

I see you also are a linebacker and a tight end. Of those two positions, which one do you feel you are better at?

I'm better at tight end because I can control more of the game with the ball in my hands.

Of those two positions, which one is harder to get game ready for?

I would say probably linebacker because you have a week to try and learn a team's tendencies and how to stop them.

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

Martels Carter would have to be the toughest player I’ve ever played against and the Paducah Tillman team he played for. They have always been the team that you knew would be tough seeing them on the schedule.

What is your favorite part of practice?

Just competing with my guys and making everyone on the team better as well as myself.

Is there a college or pro player that you pattern your game after?

Travis Kelce

Which teammate is most likely to do something funny during practice when things are tense just to get a laugh and break the tension?

Logan Smith

Which game are you looking forward to the most this season?

That first playoff game!

If you could take one home game and move it to any stadium in the nation, where are you playing that game?

Neyland Stadium

Who is your favorite athlete?

Anthony Edwards

What is your favorite holiday?

Christmas

What state would you like to visit for the first time?

Montana
