Running back or Free safety Which one do you feel you are best at, along with the one that is hardest to prepare for?
As a player on both sides, I feel that running back is definitely my strong suit. The hardest of both positions to warm up for is free safety. You can cover routes all day but when you’re in a game situation it is a completely different feel
Of the road games you have played, which stadium was the best to play at, along with the reasons that made it so good?
My favorite away stadium was Northwest Mohawks. Northwest had plenty of bleachers for fans and also had a turf field. Turf fields make every game feel better.
Who is the best player you have ever faced on the football field?
There is a big list of players that are really good in our conference. The best player that I’ve faced would be Gavin Hart. Gavin gave me and my team problems both times we faced him.

State finals should be held at the Ohio State stadium

I haven’t heard from any colleges yet, I’m still looking into options
After the season is over, what would it mean to you to have earned an invite to the North vs. South game?
Earning a spot on one of these teams would make my year. It would make the years worth of practices and games feel more rewarding after a great season.
What was the last book you read?
The last book I read was The Gatsby
Where is the best local spot to grab a meal?
Toro loco is the best local spot to grab a meal.
