How did/is everything going football wise as of late?
“It’s going good for sure, just continuing the everyday grind. Jumping right into the offseason.”

What do you feel your team can continue to improve on going forward?
“We already have a great group of coaches and players that all want the same thing. Winning a state championship. Every day we need to get 1% better whether it’s physically or mentally learning the game or preparing for a game. Continuing to build as a family.”

Have you been pleased with your performances?
“This previous year was a great year for me. Accomplished some of my goals but I am nowhere near satisfied or where I need to be. It was a great breakthrough year but next year I want to be the best around.”

How do you feel about the play of your team?
“I feel like all year we played as a family and a brotherhood. We have a great offense and a great defense. It is just finishing games and not becoming complacent or down when things get hard. We need to stay as that brotherhood and continue to grind when things get hard. That’s what makes great teams.”

What are your sporting goals going forward as of now?
“I want to be the best player in the country at my position and I want to show everyone who has ever doubted me whether it’s coaches or people online whoever it may be I want to prove I am the best at what I do. My goal is to win a state title for track and football and win Mr. Football for my senior year. Another goal of mine is to go to college and continue to play the sport I love, which is football.”

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

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“I currently have 5 D1 offers. Kentucky, Eastern Michigan, Eastern Kentucky, Miami of Ohio and Ball State. Other than that, I get recruited by a lot of P5 schools and G5 Schools as well. Tennessee, Minnesota, Virginia Tech, Liberty, Pitt, Arizona, Coastal Carolina, Cincinnati, Duke, Marshall.”

What school is recruiting you the hardest?
“I would say Eastern Michigan. Definitely feel love from them every day.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“Yes I have. I have been to Kentucky, Duke, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Tennessee, Michigan State, Michigan, Pitt, Marshall, and a lot of other schools as well.”

Do you have plans for game day trips?
“I believe I am done for this season with game day trips.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“Yes. My favorite college was my hometown team The Ohio State Buckeyes.”
