What have you been doing as of late with your workouts?
“I am currently in lacrosse season right now where six of the seven days of the week are taken up by games and practices. Any extra time I get I am doing a light lifting to keep my baseline up for football season.”

What do you feel you have improved on the most since football ended?
“Since the end of football season, I have already gained 20-pounds and progress in the weight room has gotten my bench, squat, and deadlift up in weight.”

What are your areas of focus going forward?
“Going forward, I'm looking to improve on my defensive skills as a d-back since I don't have much experience there yet. On offense, I need to improve my game as a power running back and not just be a speed back.”

How do you believe your team will be next season?
“Our team is always shooting for playoffs every year. Next year, especially, our coach wants a state champion. I've seen what has been going on in the weight room and what coach has us doing. I got some high hopes of going far this year.”

What is the toughest game on your schedule for 2018?
“North Penn is usually the toughest team we play, but the games against our rivals, CB West and CB South, are always the toughest. The rivalry brings out the best in both teams.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“I would love to play sports in college. I would say my favorite sport is football, but I also love lacrosse and would be lucky to play either.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“Not any major ones. I've gone out to meet the lacrosse coach of Air Force Academy and have been invited to watch some spring football practices at the University of Delaware.”

What camps are you going to this summer?
“I haven't decided what football camps I'm going to yet, but I want to go to a Penn State one, a Princeton one, and a Villanova one. For lacrosse, I'm doing a big three-day recruiting camp called Lax Showtime.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“LSU was my favorite college growing up and it's my dream to play football there.”
