What have you been doing as of late with off-season workouts?
“Due to the quarantine and my lack of equipment at home, everything has been very high intensity and high volume.”

What do you feel you have improved on most since last football season?
“My speed and balance.”

What are you trying to improve on before the football season begins?
“I need to improve my body positioning and speed off the ball.”

How has Covid-19 factored into your workouts?
“It’s only changed the atmosphere in which I work out. Instead of working out in a hardcore gym with any equipment I could think of, I have to work out in my garage and back yard with a limit of 185 pounds. Either way, the work has to be put in.”

How do you feel your team will do this football season?
“I’m extremely confident in my teams’ abilities this year. Some of the younger guys got a taste of playoffs last year and are hungry for it again. We plan on being back.”

Who do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“I couldn’t cut it down to just one team. We have to treat every team the same and play ball how we play ball.”

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against this fall?
“I’m not too familiar with a ton of guys yet, but I know players like Chase Whatton from EF and Antonio Epps from SA will definitely be on our scouting report.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“I’ve been in contact with schools like Duquesne, Robert Morris, and Youngstown State.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“Not yet due to COVID-19.”

What camps are you planning to do this summer?
“As of right now Duquesne, SRU, and Yale.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“My brother was a massive North Carolina basketball fan, so I’ve always liked them. Now I enjoy watching Pitt football and Slippery Rock football.”
