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.
Something that sticks out to me from last season was just the energy on the bus rides and
locker rooms before games. Just the feeling that you know game time is approaching.
What are you going to miss the most from your teammates who graduate this year?
Kamden Lemon and Jayden Hostetler for sure.
What was your biggest moment in the 2025 season? Getting my first sack of the season
Untouched against Triway.
With this being your final high school football season, are you training differently than you have in the past? Explain
Training has definitely been a lot different for me, especially because of our new coaching staff.
They have stepped up and took charge of changing our work ethic and culture. From early
morning conditioning and lifts to having open fields for us whenever we want.
What makes you a good teammate?
I bring energy every day no matter if it’s practices or games, and I like to think of myself as a
leader for sure.
Other than your home stadium, which stadium do you enjoy playing in the most? Explain
Last year I really enjoyed playing at Norwayne; the field and the energy were unmatched compared to any other game.
What are your personal goals for the season?
Over 1000 yards rushing and breaking 100 tackles.
What team goals will you set?
Playoffs and an over .500 record
Who is the toughest teammate to square up against during practice? The toughest teammate is
Reid Mckelvey is a big strong guy, and we play the same positions, so I know we’re going to compete every day.
Who or what got you started playing football?
I got myself into football. I've loved it since I was a kid, but my head coach from last year brought me back to the game after I stepped away.
What keeps you playing the game?
The desire to be great and just the enjoyment I get out of it.
What is one thing you would love to do in a game but might not have the chance to?
One thing that I want to do in a game is score a game-winning touchdown.
Running back or linebacker: which position is the toughest to prepare for?
Personally, I would say linebacker, learning week to week what offense each team runs. Also breaking down the film and preparing mentally for your reads.
What is your favorite sports movie or show?
Remember the Titans
Who are your role models?
My biggest role model for sure is Cam Skattebo. I love the way he plays and how hard he runs.
What is a style or fad that your generation has that you just do not get?
Don’t really have one, to be honest.
