What have you been doing as of late with off-season workouts?
“I’ve been working out a lot on my own and I’ve been going to the field to throw the ball around with some of my teammates to get ready for the season.”

What do you feel you have improved on most since last football season?
“I’ve been improved my quickness and agility. I’ve also been focusing on getting my hands better and being able to catch any ball that is thrown too me.”

What are you trying to improve on before the football season begins?
“I’ve been trying to improve my route running and trying to be more creative while I run my routes.”

How has Covid-19 factored into your workouts?
“With everything going on with Covid-19, I’ve been trying my best to stay safe and healthy when I’m on the field and when I’m in the weight room by whipping down the bar and the weights. I try not to touch my face while I sweat.”

How do you feel your team will do this football season?
“With majority of our key players back, I feel like we have a chance to win it all. Our team isn’t the biggest, but we do have the biggest hearts and that shocked a lot of the teams we played last year.”

Who do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“Moving into 6A, I feel like our schedule is never going to be easy, but we’re going to take on every team like it’s our last game playing together.”

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against this fall?
“In my opinion, I think the toughest player we’ll play against is Kyle McCord due to his arm strength and the playmakers he has around him.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“The two sports I play are football and lacrosse. I definitely want to pursue one of them at the next level, but I just don’t know which one yet.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“There has been a lot of schools reaching out to me, but recently I’ve been talking to Alvernia and Ursinus a lot.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“I’ve only been on a couple college visits so far due to Covid-19, but I’m planning on going on many more whenever schools start to open back up.

Do you have any plans for college visits this fall? If so, where?
“This fall, I’m definitely going to go on visits to schools in state and out of state. I have no idea which ones I want to visit first.”

Do you have any plans for late camps this summer?
“Yes, I’m going to be attending a lot of camps and trying to show off my athleticism and talents that a lot of college coaches are missing out on.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“When I was younger growing up, I was always the biggest Penn State fan. I feel that their football and the atmosphere at games are unmatched.”
