What have you been doing as of late with off-season workouts?
“I’ve been gathering up some of my teammates and we’ve been getting our chemistry up while just getting back into it with route running, competition, etc.”

What do you feel you have improved on most since last football season?
“I feel I have improved my accuracy the most. Last year, I just had a good arm and could throw the ball with some fire behind it, but now I have great accuracy to go with it.”

What are you trying to improve on before the football season begins?
“I’m continuing to get better with my footwork and my speed. I’ve been doing speed and agility workouts and I’m definitely noticing changes.”

How has Covid-19 factored into your workouts?
“COVID-19 actually helped me work harder than ever before. When the second quarantine started, I gathered everything I needed for the coming months and I put on muscle, got faster, and worked out continuously through the past months.”

How do you feel your team will do this football season?
“We have a great team coming back this year and I think we’ll have a similar successful season as our last season.”

Who do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“I feel as if Malvern and Penn Charter are going to be our toughest opponents this year because they don’t lose too many guys and they’ve got talented guys coming back.”

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against this fall?
“There’s a lot of talent in the Inter AC this year, but I feel like Lonnie White is going to be the biggest challenge for us this year, but I’m not too worried about him with Malcolm Folk lined up across from him. That’s going to be the matchup of the season.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“Yes, I want to play either football or baseball in college. Those are my two main sports along with basketball.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“No coaches have contacted me up to this point. Hopefully that changes this season.”

What camps are you planning to do this summer?
“I was planning on going to a couple of the Patriot Leagues camps this summer including Bucknell, but those are all cancelled.

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“Growing up, my favorite college was University of Iowa because my whole mom’s side of the family is from there and they brought me into the Hawkeye fan base growing up.”
