What have you been doing as of late with off-season workouts?
“I have officially wrapped up MMA and Jiu Jitsu as the season approaches, and I have been doing the majority of my lifting and speed work at my football team’s gym.”

What do you feel you have improved on most since last football season?
“I feel that I’ve definitely improved my strength, speed, and power which overall will make me a better outside pass rusher.”

What are you trying to improve on before the football season begins?
“I’d like to improve my pass rushing techniques just to make me a more productive linebacker.”

How do you feel your team will do this football season?
“I believe that we have a lot of potential as a team this year since we have a lot of older playmakers coming back.”

Who do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“In my opinion, the toughest team on our schedule will probably be South Fayette or Blackhawk.”

Who is your opponent in the season opener and how do you feel about them overall?
“Our opponent in the season opener is Shaler. Shaler has improved their football team last year, which led them into the playoffs for the first time in a long time. We lost to Shaler last year but after we play a team for the first time, we learn about the team as a whole and learn how we can attack their most vulnerable spots.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“My dream is to play college football.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“I have been recruited so far by a few Ivy League schools including Yale and Harvard and other major D1 programs such as Army and Lehigh. I have also been actively recruited by other DI-AA programs along with a large amount of D2 schools.”

What school is recruiting you the hardest?
“I believe Saginaw has shown the most interest in my recruiting and has been very active by sending messages and being very responsive.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“I have made a trip to Lehigh for a tour around the field and campus with the recruiter, but I plan on visiting more colleges as my senior year approaches.”

Do you have plans for more trips soon?
“I am currently undecided where to go for the next trip, but I certainly plan on visiting as many colleges that are interested in me playing for them.”

What camps did you do this summer and how did they go?
“I’ve only went to the Notre Dame College camp so far and I believe I was on the top chain of competition. I plan on going to a few bigger camps such as Robert Morris and possibly Yale.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“I always loved Ohio state and the Bosa brothers.”
