How did the high school football season go overall?
“We went 10-3 overall. We had a lot of returners from the previous season on defense, but our offense was very new. It took 3 games for our offense to really get rolling. After that, our offense just started clicking, and we were driving down the field all the time. In the first drive of week 7, I broke my collarbone. Once that happened, I just had to step in as almost a coach and try to help not only the QB that stepped up, but the offense as a whole to get used to a completely new style of QB. Braylon Newcomb, normally a slot receiver, was the one who came in to QB. He did a great job learning quickly and doing what he does best.”

What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“I am currently playing baseball, specifically pitching. I’m also lifting regularly with the baseball team and on my own. I train with QB trainers whenever I get time.”

How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“I believe our team is going to be very efficient next season. I feel we all have a gritty attitude, and we all want to just flat out out-work the other guys. We’re going to beat people by making them dread having to play us.”

What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“Our schedule is very difficult. The GWOC is tough, but our non-conference schedule is tough, too. Springfield will probably be the toughest, but I’m also looking forward to the challenges from Lakota East, Coffman, and Pick Central to start the season.”

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“There are several tough players in our league, but I’d say Javon Hammonds Jr. from Wayne.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“Yes, I’d like to play college football.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“Mostly MAC’s, Ivy’s, and a handful of FCS schools.”

What school is recruiting you the hardest?
“I had a great unofficial visit to Kent State recently, and they want to see me throw in person this Spring.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“So far I’ve visited Kent State, Ohio, Toledo, Ball State, Middle Tennessee State, and U Indy.”

Do you have plans for any trips soon?
“No, just working out my camp schedule for the summer. It’s hard to visit schools right now due to my baseball schedule. I am committed to the baseball team so I try not to miss any events.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“Ohio State.”
