How did the high school football season go overall?
“Overall, this football season has been great. We accomplished a lot and reached a lot of our goals. We worked so hard and it payed off winning a district championship. Although we came up short of the State Championship game, this season has been awesome.”

What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“My plans now for the off-season is I go right into basketball. During basketball, I will probably lift a lot when I have the time and get in the gym. I’ll probably occasionally go to the field on weekends and throw with some others on the team. Once basketball is over, I’ll be in the gym almost all the time and we will be going out to throw, go over plays, and start getting ready.”

What are you trying to improve on the most as a player?
“I’m trying to improve in several areas. Over the off-season, I would like to improve my speed, gain more quickness, and agility. I also would like to improve on my arm strength and better technique. I’m also trying to put on a couple more pounds of muscle to be harder to take down.”

How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“I am very confident with our team next year. We have some smart players and big bodies that have been waiting for their time. We also have some upcoming freshman and a good amount of returning varsity starters. Everyone, including me, just has to do their job and get in the weight room this off-season. I’m very confident and very excited already for next year.”

Who do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule next season?
“I’m not sure who will be on our schedule next year and what out of conference teams we’ll play, but I think the toughest team next year in our conference will probably be Cheltenham. They have a lot of talented juniors returning.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“Yes, I would love to play a sport in college. My goal is to play college football.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“Unfortunately at the moment, no schools are recruiting me.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“I’ve gone to several college camps over the summer and one unofficial visit was to Princeton.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“Growing up, my favorite college was probably Villanova or Penn State. Overall, I just love watching college sports from college football playoffs to March Madness.”
