How did the high school football season go overall?
“This year my team and I fell short of playoffs, which was our goal prior to the season. My team and I feel like we owe ourselves and the community a playoff run this year. Personally, I hit my goals of receiving an All-Conference award and to get my school and my own name on the recruiter’s radar.”

What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“Currently, I’m in the weight room 3 days a week with my team and conditioning 2 days a week. I also have positional training sessions with my trainer, Jason Williams, on the weekends. Another way I am working on my craft is playing with Philly’s Finest, my 7v7 team.”

What are you trying to improve on the most as a player?
“I am constantly talking with my trainer on what I need to work on, and whatever it is, we are working that area in the session. I’m also trying to improve as a teammate. I’m used to being the younger guy, but going into my junior year, I’m learning from the 2019 class. They helped me a lot this year pm how to make the guys feel comfortable with making mistakes and learning from them.”

How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“I feel that my team will make the playoffs and the win the PAC. We have a lot of young talent in perfect spots and most of our returning guys are returning starters.”

Who do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule next season?
“Our toughest competition this year is going to be Springford. They’re returning a good amount of guys, plus we’re playing at their field this year.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“I want to play football in college. It has always been my dream to play college football since my first year of playing in 2nd grade.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“I have interest from Villanova and Bucknell has been talking to my high school coaches. I am still working towards my first offer.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“I visited Villanova University, Delaware University, and Rutgers University this spring. All three were very informative and I learned a lot about the recruiting process from the coaches.”

Do you have plans for more trips soon?
“I plan to visit Morgan State on their junior day. As a sophomore, it’s exciting to be on visit with their recruits in 2020.”
Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“My favorite college growing up was Ohio State because their colors match my schools. In recent years, I have been a fan of Penn State.”
