Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“In college, I would love to continue my career playing football since my goal is to go All-Pro. For track, I’m deeply thinking about it depending on if I get a scholarship for track this or next season. Even though it’s going to be my first year doing track, I think I can get it done because of my ability to have long strides, being able to jump, and to be fast.”
What colleges have been recruiting you?
“Virginia Tech, West Virginia, the University of Florida, Indiana, Boston College, Cincinnati, Penn State, Syracuse, Toledo, Ohio, Miami of Ohio, Pitt, Eastern Michigan, Western Michigan, Central Michigan, Kent State, Memphis, Tennessee, Buffalo, Temple, and Maryland.”
What school is recruiting you the hardest?
“As of right now, the University of Toledo is recruiting me the hardest. I have visited twice in the past month.

Have you made any college trips yet?
“This year, I’ve been to three different colleges. Toledo was first, then Miami of Ohio, and lastly Temple.”
What camps are you going to this summer?

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
