What have you been doing as of late with off-season workouts?

What are you trying to improve on before the football season begins?
“Everything including footwork, accuracy, velocity, reading defenses, strength, and speed.”

How has Covid-19 factored into your workouts?
“It has limited the number of places I can use, and my wide receivers can’t workout, but I have managed to find places on my own.”

How do you feel your team will do this football season?
“I believe we have the potential to do really good this season. We have our whole line coming back, a very strong defense, and people willing to step up in the wide receiver spot. Don’t sleep on the Bucs.”

What school is recruiting you the hardest?
“I can’t say that because a lot of my visits have been cancelled, but I have had phones calls with several colleges from the list.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“I have visited Lehigh, but that’s all I was able to get in so far.”

Do you have plans for more trips soon?
