N/A

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

That you should be living the moment and not the past nor think about the future; be grateful.

What was your feeling as you walked off the field for the last time as a member of the Whiteland High School football team?

It was heartbreaking, yet I was glad I got to play with my brothers one last time.

What do you think that you are going to miss from playing high school football?

I will miss the team lifts and morning workouts.

What do you wish you would have done differently as far as preparing yourself for football?

I wish I did not rush anything and got to be in the moment and not tread into the future.

What was the toughest part of the 2025 season?

Holding others accountable and leading the team.

What was the best part of the 2025 season?

Going on a 9-game win streak.

Of all the wins that you were part of, which one meant the most? Explain

Winning against Plainfield because in that game I got a game-sealing interception, and that game was a top matchup for us in the Mid-State Conference. Winning that showed we had much talent and grit.

Which loss hurt the most? Explain 

Our sectional championship loss because that was our last home game that I and the seniors got to play ever.

What makes you a good teammate?

Holding others accountable for their actions.

Do you feel that the transfer portal in college football has made it harder for high school players to get recruited?

No.

What was the best part of the recruiting process?

NA

Could you name some of the schools that recruited you and let the readers know what your football future holds?

Marion University and Anderson University have had interest in me, but I will no longer be playing football and will be joining the armed forces in the Air Force.

What is your favorite type of music?

Rock music

What are you doing outside of sports for fun?

I am working on myself and improving myself every day in the gym.

What is a style or fad that your generation has that you really don't get?

People wearing opposite-colored mouthpieces.
