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.

One of my favorite moments from last year was my breakout game vs east ridge when I went 6 catches(2 incredible catches) 121 yards and a touchdown proving I could contribute to the team as a freshman.

What something unique with the football team that most fans would not know?

Something unique about my football team is that we take the word “brotherhood” to a whole new level, each and every one of us are very close and would fight and die for each other.

What are your goals for the season?

My goals for this season are to break 1500 yards, and 20 touchdowns

What team goals will you set?

My team goals are to win a playoff game and beat our cross-town rivals.

As a younger player, which teammate would you go to if you were having football related problems?

As a younger guy, If I’m ever struggling with football related problems I definitely love to go to my seniors, Gavyn combs, and Evan Carroll. They are great guys and are always willing to stick their necks out for me.

Grass or turf?

Personally I prefer turf.

As a receiver what type of cover guy do you like going up against the most?

As a receiver, I like to go against press coverage, for one it is more challenging than over coverages and I like the challenge, and for two if I get a step on them, I’m gone


Which road stadium is the toughest to play in, along with the thing that makes it so tough?

The hardest road stadium I played in last year was definitely Prestonsburg, the crowd was loud, and the pressure was on. 


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

N/A

Do you have any game-day superstitions?

I am a big time superstition guy i always like to get a drink from a local tea shop and eat chicken tenders. I feel like that pre-game meal makes me preform better. 


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

The pep section definitely fires me up and gets me going.


How do you get over a bad game?

To get over a bad game I learn from it and work twice as hard the next week at practice. 


What is the biggest reason you play football?

My biggest reason for playing football is because I love it, I have a burning passion for it and it’s my favorite thing in the entire world.

What scares you?

Knowing one day I will step on the field for the last time.


What is your favorite kind of music?

I’m a big country guy, specifically love some Morgan Wallen.


Who are your role models?

My role models are my dad, and I look up to Justin Jefferson and try to model my game after him.
