The last time we spoke, you mentioned several camps you had planned on attending. Can you share with everyone some of the camps you attended?

I will be at Morehead State, Tiffin, Memphis, Ohio State, Duquesne, and West Virginia.

What did you learn from the camps that you plan on adding to your arsenal this season?

I learned that go to the camp where they invite you, or there will be other schools there to watch you.

With this being your senior season, what are you looking forward to the most?

I'm looking forward to showing what I’m capable of doing on the field and showing all the work I have been putting in during the offseason.

What was the best part of playing in the double-wing offense?

The best part about playing in the double-wing offense was being able to run people over every play, but we are in a spread offense this year, and what is good about that is being able to do both pass blocking and run block.

Which road stadium is the best to play in?

Mcnick because it is a very hostile environment.

Which road stadium is the worst to play in? Explain

Carroll, because we blow them out every year, so by the 2nd quarter, there is no energy.

What makes you a good teammate?

I feel that I’m a leader and that when it’s time to be serious, I am serious.

What will you miss the most from the 2025 class?

I’m going to miss all the seniors, but mostly the running backs, because they really helped us succeed.

What was the high point of the 2024 season?

The high point was that we were very close to going to the 3rd round of the playoffs, and we felt we could have had a chance of going to state semifinals.

What was the low point of the 2024 season?

The low point was not winning GCL and also losing our best DL man, Elijah Berman, due to injury.

If you get invited to play in any of the all-star games, will you? Explain

Yes, if I got invited to an All-Star game, I would love to play in it.

If you could play one of your remaining home games in any stadium in the nation, where are you playing?

I would want to play in Notre Dame Stadium.

What is your favorite type of music?

My favorite type of music is rap.

What is your favorite energy drink?

I don’t drink energy drinks.

What scares you?

I fear God.

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...
