What was the highlight of the 2025 season?

For me, I'd say my first Varsity snap. It just felt like a surreal moment because it was something I had worked towards for a long time.


What will you remember the most from the 2025 season?

I will remember all the seniors from last season; I became good friends with them, and they really helped me out with my improving my game.

What makes you a good teammate?

I am very knowledgeable about our playbook. If anyone needs help knowing what to do, they can always count on me, I know every position. I'm always looking out for the underclass men and helping everyone on our team get better, on and off the field.

What have you done during the off-season to improve your game?

I've been locked in on improving my speed, strength and agility and just becoming a overall better player.

At this point what do you believe is the strongest part of your game?

I believe the strongest part of my game is my aggressiveness and my knowledge of football. I play with a physical mindset every snap, and I take pride in understanding assignments, recognizing defensive fronts and making the adjustments needed to help my team succeed.

Which is tougher for you to prepare for Offensive line or defensive line?

Offensive line is tougher because I'm always studying the players I'll be going up against. I want to know how they move, recognize their tendencies and how to counter their strengths. The more I'm prepared before the game, the more confident I am when it's time to dominate my opponent. 

If the game is on the line do you want to be on offense or defense? Explain

Offense because I feel like I can control the outcome out of the play. I know as long as I execute my assignment and win my block, I can create the opportunity for my guys to succeed and do their job.

Who is the toughest teammate to go against during practice?

I'd say my teammate, Max Parsons. He's tough and true elite player with great technique.

What is the toughest part of practice?

For me, I'd say Warmups because we do a lot of bags and speed/agility.

Can the band, fans, and cheerleaders get you fired up before and, or during the game?

Most definitely. I love hearing all the above! All the yelling and cheering gets me fired up!

How do you get over a bad game?

I try to always remind myself that I can only go up from here. I take responsibility for my mistakes, study what I could have done better and get back to work.

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

The biggest lesson football has taught me is that success comes from discipline and consistency. If you're willing to put the work in every day, the results will come.

What is your go-to snack?

My go-to snack is cool ranch Doritos and deer jerky. 

What is a style or fad that your generation has that you do not get?
 
I'll be honesty I really don't keep up with styles or any trends going on. I'm so focused on school, football and my Lawn care/Landscaping business to care about that.

What is your dream vacation spot?
 
I'd really love to go out west and check out Wyoming and Montana
