How did the high school football season go overall?
“Last season was a huge success for our program. Bishop Shanahan won its first District 1-4A championship in the school’s history. We were eliminated in round 1 of the State Playoffs, but we had a strong year overall.”

What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“For sports, I am playing lacrosse and participating in track in the spring. I am working out as part of the off-season Titus program at Shanahan as well as working with my trainer/mentor Coach Jayson Williams for private workouts.”

What are you trying to improve on the most as a player?
“Speed, speed and more speed. Agility and footwork to help improve my speed as an edge rusher as well as my ability to play offensive line since my coach told me I will be on that side of the ball also as a senior.”

How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“I believe we have the potential to compete again for a district championship and state playoffs even though we are going to be a young team since we are graduating many senior starters. Our goal is to go deeper in the playoffs.”

Who do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule next season?
“New year, same competition. We play three schools who are consistently ranked in the top 10 in SE PA. Downingtown East, Downingtown West and Coatesville. These are very big public high schools and we are a very small private Catholic school. This is always our toughest test.”

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

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“I have had initial contact with many schools including Division 2 and 3 in many parts of the country as well as a few Division 1 schools. Most notably, it was Lehigh University and Villanova University. I am just in the initial stages considering I am class of 2021.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“Yes, I have had invites and gone on unofficial visits to Lehigh and Villanova.”

Do you have plans for more trips soon?
“I hope so, yes.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“Yes, the Ohio State University. My Mom is from Youngstown, Ohio and my dad’s family is from Akron Ohio. Go Buckeyes.”
