“I think our team is going to be fierce this year and that we can be a contender for States.”

Who do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against this fall?
“I am not concerned about any one player in particular.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“I am very excited about playing football in college and wish to play at the highest level possible.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“I have received offers from Duquesne, Lake Erie, and have been talking to Albany and Monmouth. Temple, Delaware, JMU and Duke are a few of the other schools.”

What school is recruiting you the hardest?

Do you have any plans for college visits this fall? If so, where?

Do you have any plans for late camps this summer?
“I am hoping to attend camps in August if it is permitted.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“My grandfather was the basketball coach at West Chester and both of my parents attended WCU, so it has always been one of my favorites.

Growing up in Pennsylvania, the Nittany Lions have always been top on my list as well.”
