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.

Week 8 against Delaware Hayes on live TV, I had 18 tackles and 4 tackles for loss against OSU commit Favour Akih.

What are you going to miss from the 2025 class?

The brotherhood, I have been playing with those guys ever since 7th grade, and I’m going to miss that friendship of pushing each other each and every day.

How important is it to you that the team not only get along on the field but off of it too?

I think hanging out with the team outside of football is extremely important. My senior class and I prioritize hanging out; we have gone on senior trips, and during football season we go out to eat 2x a week after practice. I just think being able to have a strong connection off the field really enhances our game on the field.

What makes you a good teammate?

I think what makes me a good teammate is that I am a role model and a leader. Every time I feel like I can help someone improve or get better, I always try to help them out, and not only just me but our whole team pushes each other to the best of their ability.

With this being your last high school football season, have you prepared any differently than you have in the past? Explain

I have prepared differently in the weight room and on the field this offseason. I have gained 15 pounds, and my maxes on lifts have gone up a ton, with my bench at 320 and squat at 500. Also, I went to a lot more camps this summer than last summer, when I only went to one.

Linebacker or running back, which one do you feel that you are better at?

Linebacker

Personally, you had one hell of a season (137 tackles, a new school record, 12 TFLs, 3 FF, 3 FR, and 1 sack). What are your goals for the 2025 season?

Goals for the 2025 season. As for team goals, I want to make the playoffs and play in the postseason, as well as get the rock back and beat Kilbourne this year. As for individual goals, I want to get 170+ tackles this year, and I also want to get first team all district and first team all Ohio.

Would you share with the readers some of the camps you have attended, along with the biggest lessons that you have learned from the camps?

The biggest camps I attended this year were OSU and Youngstown State. At these camps I feel like I excelled and learned more of a leadership role, trying to be first in every line, breaking down the huddle, and helping others.

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

I feel like my ability to read and react when the ball is snapped is the best part of my game. I watch a ton of film and prepare really hard for every game; with that, I have a lot of play recognition and am able to tell where the plays are going prior to the snap.

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

Nolan Buirley, RB, Big Walnut

If you are invited to play in any of the all-star games after the season, will you play?

Yes

Why should a college coach recruit you?

College coaches should recruit me because I’m a leader on and off the field, and I think I’m one of the best linebackers in the state.

Would you share with the readers some of the colleges that you are hearing from?

I’m hearing primarily from Youngstown State, Ohio Dominican, Tiffin, and Grand Valley State.

Where is the best local place to grab a pizza?

JT's Pizza in Worthington has hands down the best pizza in town.

What is your favorite type of music?

R&B music like Drake, Bryson Tiller, SZA, and Brent Faiyaz.

Who are your role models?

My mom and my dad, they push me every day and make sure I have worked out, and they put food on the table every night and check in on me all the time. I aspire to be like them one day.

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?

  Logan Doughty Miller High School Quarterback, free safety 2025 6,2 170 lbs What are some of the awards you have won or earned? Two times first team all MSL, two times first team all district, two times honorable mention all Ohio What were the high and low points of the 2023 season?

What are your personal goals for the 2024 season? 1,500 rushing yards and 1,000 passing yards, 25 rushing touchdowns, and 15 passing touchdowns. How long have you played football, along with the reasons you continue to play? I have been playing football for 11 years. Football clicked as soon as I put the pads on; there’s something about it that I can’t get enough of. I’d say the reason I continue to play is my love for the game. Who or what got you interested in playing footb...
