How did the high school football season go overall?
“While our record was not the best, I think we grew a lot as a team. When you lose 5 FBS and 5 FCS seniors, you are going to have some growing pains.”

What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“I went right into the wrestling room the Monday after our last game and am looking forward to wrestling season with my other group of brothers. I will continue lifting and getting ready for combines and camps later this spring and summer.”

What are you trying to improve on the most as a player?
“I want to continue to work on my speed, explosiveness, and strength this off season. That will help a lot down in the trenches where I play.”

How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“We have a really good group of sophomores and freshmen coming up that I am excited to play with. We have a lot of speed at the skill positions and some bigger young guys coming up.”

Who do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule next season?
“Our non-conference schedule is really tough, and Coach G always pushes us early in the season by playing high caliber competition. I expect Archbishop Spalding and Imhotep to be early tests for us again next year, but I would not want it any other way.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“I have been really lucky to have had great coaching in both football and wrestling and have had success in both so far in high school. I will know when I find the best fit either football or wrestling, but if the right opportunity arose, I would like to do both in college.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“I have spoken to TCU, Penn State, Rutgers, Northwestern. Lehigh, Bucknell, Brown, Buffalo, and Bowling Green this year so I am really excited.”

What school is recruiting you the hardest?
“I would say TCU. I went there for a camp, but I still have a lot of work to do. TCU Coach Chad Glasgow gave me some things to work on and I have been working hard on those things.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“I visited TCU and Rutgers before the season and plan on taking several unofficial visits this spring and summer.”

Do you have plans for more trips soon?
“Yes, with many of the schools listed above. I will go to the junior days and see where it goes from there.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“Yeah, I was always a Penn State kid growing up. I got invited to visit PSU last week and got to see the game against Rutgers. Football games are unreal experience at PSU.”
