How did the high school football season go overall?
“Overall with Covid being in effect, we did not get to really have many team events leading up to the season which hurt for not only us but for all schools. When the season did come, we were a younger team, so we had to implement a lot of new concepts quickly before the season began. However, the team really picked it up quickly and we had a productive season finishing 3-5.”

What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“My plans with sports now are to get ready for the track season coming up and compete in some throwing and sprinting events. Work out wise, I am going to Powertrain about 5 times a week and using my home gym 2 days a week for weightlifting and conditioning. I am also doing position specific drills 3-4 days a week with help from Coach Chris Thompson.”

How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“We have been putting in a lot of work right now in the off-season and it is only going to continue with more players, so I believe if we keep this up, we will have a great year next year.”

What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“Our team plays a lot of well coached, competitive teams next year that will all be tough competition, but our last game against ELCO will definitely be our toughest. They have been very competitive these last few years and they are a county rival who are very well-coached and have a great overall team.”

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“I think Luke Williams from ELCO is an individual who stands out. I know him personally and he is a great man and is even a better competitor. He always goes 100 percent and is a very physical and athletic kid. He’s a senior this year which will make him even more aggressive because he wants to come out this year on top.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“I do and I would love to play football in college.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“I am on Go Big Recruiting who has really been a big help in my recruiting. I have been getting looked at by multiple division 1 schools because of Go Big. They actually helped me even pick up an offer from the University of Pennsylvania.”

What school is recruiting you the hardest?
“As of now, I have an offer from the University of Pennsylvania so I would say they are right now.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“I have not. Due to Covid, I have not been able to make some trips, but I hope to make some.”

Do you have plans for any trips soon?
“I plan on visiting Penn after the dead period ends, along with some other schools and attending some prospect camps.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“As a kid I liked an assortment of schools, but I always liked Penn State.”
