How did the high school football season go overall?
“I think we had a great season this year. We turned the program around and accomplished a lot of things that many people didn’t think were possible at the start of the season. We came up just short of our goal, but we are already working for it for next season.”

What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“I’m playing basketball right now, but our football team is trying to lift as a team starting now all the way through next season. And personally, I will be continuing to go see Coach Brix at Explosive Sports Speed Training along with the lifting and working out as a team.”

What are you trying to improve on the most as a player?
“I’m trying to improve the most on accuracy on passes and reading the holes after I make my read as QB, then exploding through them. On defense. I’m working mostly on my man coverage and reading the offense.”

How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“I’m already excited about our team for next season. I think it will be a great year and we hope to make Upper Dauphin history as the first district champions.”

Who do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule next season?
“I think that Line Mountain will be our toughest competition in the regular season because they have a lot of people back from this year.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“One of my dreams ever since I was a little kid is to play college football at a high level.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“There have been a lot of D3 schools reaching out to me and I have been in communication with some D2, D1-AA, and D1 schools. It is mainly from camps I went to over the summer.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“I was at Kent State this year as a recruit and I really enjoyed it.”

Do you have plans for more trips soon?
“This coming fall, I hope to have a lot of trips to experience schools and programs and see which is the best fit for me.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“Growing up, my team was Penn State because my grandpa was a center there and we have had home season tickets to Beaver Stadium ever since I was born. I think I was even less than a month old at my first game.”
