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.

The best part of last season was being able to play my first high school football game and then getting moved up to varsity a few days later.

What are you looking forward to the most this season?

I am looking forward to it all. From playing the game of football to the time spent on the buses with my teammates and building friendships that will continue out of high school.

What are you doing during the off-season to improve your game?

During the off-season I am staying in the weight room to get stronger and practicing to get better mobility and stamina. I am also going to camps so I can learn and get better.

What do you feel is the strongest part of your game?

The strongest part of my game is my power and my ability to move people. Also my football knowledge.

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

There probably is a "toughest player" to practice against, but I would say the whole O-line in general. But if I had to choose a teammate, I would choose Liam Foote. He is our left guard. I just have a hard time beating his leverage.

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

The best person I played against in a game is Brayden Parks. He plays for Morgantown High School.

What makes you a good teammate?

I would say I am a good teammate because I am cool to hang out with and easy to get along with, but I also push you to be better.

For a lineman, which is the worst type of weather to play in?

Honestly, there is no type of weather that is bad to play in, as long as I can still play football.

What is something that you would love to do in a game but might not have a chance to?

I would love to run the ball for a touchdown, but the chances of that happening are like 2%.

Which side of the line do you feel you are best at?

I would prefer to play defense but also like playing offense too.

Which side of the line is the hardest to prepare for?

The offensive line is probably the hardest to prepare for because you have to remember all the plays and which way you are going.

What has been your biggest moment as a football player?

So far, just being able to play football for my high school

Can you share how the recruiting process is going for you and share with everyone some of the teams that you are hearing from?

The recruiting process is still getting started for me, but some schools I am hearing from are the United States Merchant Marine Academy, Crown College, and Wingate university.

What is the one sport you cannot watch?

There are actually 2, and those are golf and hockey.

What scares you?

I would have to say heights, but it has to be really tall.

Who are your role models?

Lane Johnson, Aaron Donald, and David Goggins.

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...
