What were your feelings as you walked off the field for the last time as a member of the Union/Allegheny-Clarion Valley Falcon Knights football team?

It was a real gut punch knowing I’m not playing with the kids I grew up with anymore. Knowing we were one step away from doing big things for our program. 

What do you feel you are going to miss the most from playing high school football?

Definitely playing the game I love with the kids I’ve grown up with. 

What mark do you think your class left on the football programs?

A standard that you give everything you have from January to the last snap.

Can you explain to the readers what it was like playing on a co-op football team?

Gives you the opportunity to meet and make new friends from other schools. Also gives an awesome rivalry for other sports.

What do you feel your biggest moment as a football player was?

Being a leader to a group of hardworking kids. Something I would do again in a heartbeat.

Of the wins you had, which one meant the most?

Keystone since I used to go to school there. Grew up with a lot of the kids that played on the team, so it was really bittersweet.

Which loss stung the most?

Sophomore year at Brockway during the first round of playoffs.

What was the biggest lesson you learned from playing high school football?

Do the little things if you want to chase the bigger things.

How would you define your style of play?

Tough physical football.

Now that high school football is over, do you feel that private schools have an unfair advantage over public schools?

No, I believe if you want it, you can work your tail off to be that level of good. 

Can you share with the readers some of the schools that recruited you and why you picked Westminster College?

Thiel, Junitata, Grove City, and St. Vincent were some other schools I checked out. But ultimately I chose Westminster due to the culture their coaching staff has built. Their academics are also great with smaller class sizes. Couldn’t be more excited to get started there.

What will you major in at college?

Sports broadcasting and communications. 

Who are your role models?

Definitely my dad.

What is your favorite current TV show?

Stranger Things.

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 ...

  Jarred Johnson Huntington High School Guard, Defensive Line, MLB 2027 5'9, 230 lbs. 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...
