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.

Last year’s season was special; we opened strong, beating some tough teams, and had a solid record. Winning the district championship was definitely a highlight in my career, and something I always think back to is winning our rivalry game and when our student section rushed the field.

What is the best part of being a member of the East Stroudsburg South football family?

The best part of being a member of this team is the community and the support we get. We really play as a family, and every time I step on the field, I know I’m playing for something bigger than myself.

What is the toughest aspect of being a student-athlete?

The toughest aspect of being a student-athlete is balancing time between school and sports. Performing at a high level on the field and in the classroom can be challenging, and sometimes you have to choose to miss out on some things.

What are your goals for the season?

My goals are to help my team win another district championship and to also lead the league in sacks.

What goals are you setting for your team?

I’m pushing the lineman on my team to be aggressive and to play physically. We have a lot of young guys on the team this year, and I have to not only push them, but also push myself to set a standard for them to follow.

What is the toughest type of offensive lineman to face?

The toughest type of offensive lineman to face is a tall, quick tackle. Their length can make them challenging to get around sometimes.

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

The toughest teammate to square up against is a teammate that won’t be your friend and won’t let up on you even if you’re tired; in my opinion, this is the best type of teammate.

What makes you a good teammate?

I believe I’m a good teammate because I hold myself and my teammates to a very high standard; sometimes I might get on them when I feel like they’re not pushing themselves to their full capabilities.

Where should the state finals be held?

It would be nice for the finals to be held in Hershey again like they used to, or even at a bigger college stadium.

What was the high point of the 2024 season?

The high point of the 2024 season was winning a district championship. It felt like all the work we had put in for the last 2 years had paid off.

What was the toughest part of the 2024 season?

The toughest part of the 2024 season was going against Roman Catholic in the first round of state playoffs; we were the underdogs and had just lost one of our key players to an injury, so stepping up to play them was a challenge.

Why should a college coach recruit you?

A college coach should recruit me because I have passion for the game, I’m very tenacious and aggressive, and I think that it shows in the way I play.

Grass or turf?

Turf all the way

Who are your favorite and least favorite NFL teams?

My favorite team is the Eagles, and my least favorite team is the Giants.

What is your go-to snack?

PB&J sandwiches

Who are your role models?

My role models are my dad and my cousin. My older teammates also helped me a lot when it came to football.

It’s been great. I’ve been focused on earning trust and building chemistry with the team. When you met your new teammates, what was the first thing that you said to them? I told them I’m excited to be a part of something special, work hard, and help the team win. What do you believe the strongest part of your game is? I think my ability to stay balanced, whether that’s making the right throw or using my legs when I need to help the offense stay moving. How would you describe your style of play? I’d say I’m a gritty, poised quarterback who’s good at pocket passing but not afraid to put my shoulder down to get an extra yard. What have you done during the off-season to better your game? In the off-season, I focused on gaining weight, improving m...

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...
