Please post something from last season that sticks out to you. It can be from a game, practice, or something funny on the bus ride to or from the game. Any moment that sticks out to you.

One moment that sticks out to me from last season was seeing how much our team improved throughout the year. We kept working hard every week, and it was great to see everyone getting better and playing together as a team.

What are your goals for the season?

My goals for this season are to become a better linebacker, improve my speed and football IQ, be a leader on the field, and help my team win as many games as possible.

What team goals will you set?

Our team goals are to compete every week, play disciplined football, support each other, and make a deep playoff run.

Linebacker or Edge: Which one do you feel you are better at?

I feel like I am better at linebacker because I enjoy being involved in every play, reading offenses, making tackles, and helping lead the defense.

Can you share with the readers what your biggest responsibility is as a linebacker?

My biggest responsibility as a linebacker is making sure everyone is lined up correctly, reading the offense before the snap, stopping the run, and helping the defense communicate throughout the game.

What is the biggest lesson that you have learned from playing football?

The biggest lesson I’ve learned from football is that hard work pays off. Success doesn’t happen overnight, and the work you put in when nobody is watching shows up on game day.

As an athlete, at any age, any sport, what has been your biggest accomplishment?

My biggest accomplishment has been earning opportunities to compete at high-level camps and events while continuing to improve my game and represent my school and community.

Reynoldsburg had a rough 2025 season, going 1-9. What will the team have to improve on the most to assure a better season?

We need to improve our consistency, communication, and execution. If everyone does their job and we play together as a team, we’ll be in a much better position to succeed.

How often do you watch game film on your own?

I watch film several times a week. Studying film helps me understand offenses, improve my reads, and prepare for opponents.

What is your favorite part of practice?

My favorite part of practice is competing during team periods and working on linebacker drills that help me improve my technique and football IQ.

Which road stadium is the toughest to play in? Explain.

The toughest road stadium to play in is Upper Arlington because their fans are loud and constantly heckling the opposing team. They always have a big crowd, which creates a tough environment and makes it feel like everyone is against you. It adds pressure, but it also makes competing there a great challenge.

Have you watched any of the UFL games?

No, I have not watched any UFL games

What is the one food you refuse to eat?

Pickles

Who is your favorite athlete?

Micah Parsons (I try to model my game after him) and LeBron James

The hardest part of the 2024 season was probably finding out that my best friend ...
