How did the high school football season go overall?
“Our season went pretty well overall, but we obviously wanted better. We had success in getting Carroll back to the playoffs. We let some games slip through our hands and faced some adversity but found ways to bounce back and get better.”

What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“This spring, I’ve been working out with my team at Carroll and with my two personal trainers Justin Golden and Eric Owens for more strength, speed, and footwork.”

What are you trying to improve on the most as a player?
“As a player, I am trying to improve on my speed so I can track down the ball even faster.”

How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“This year, I feel that my team will do much better than last year. We’ve been working harder than ever to prevent the feeling of the loss we had last year. Our talent this year is much different, and we added some key players so I feel we will be even better.”

Who do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule next season?
“I feel our toughest competition on our schedule next year will be either Neumann Goretti or Bishop McDevitt.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“In college I want to continue playing football. I fell in love with the game since I was 4 and never want to stop playing. I love the bond you build with your teammates and the life lessons that come along with it, and especially the physicality of the game. I want to continue to play football as long as possible.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“Penn, Villanova, Delaware, Syracuse, UConn, Holy Cross, Cornell, Columbia, Harvard, and Fordham.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“I visited Penn, Villanova, Delaware, and Syracuse.”

Do you have plans for more trips soon?
“I plan on visiting Cornell, Holy Cross, and UConn.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“Penn State because as a linebacker that’s Linebacker U and I always wanted to be a part of that. Also, it’s where I am from and the games are always packed.”
