How has everything with the football season been going so far?
“Our season has been off to a great start. We still need to improve on many things, but we are off to a nice start.”

Who is your next opponent? What are your thoughts on them overall?
“We play the California Trojans, but I feel they are in the same boat as Clariton. They’ve been a powerhouse every year where they’re always producing winning seasons and athletes.”

What do you feel your team can improve on?
“Our team needs to be more disciplined and sound. When we come together and work with each other, we are an unstoppable force. We can also improve on our conditioning.”

What are the keys for your team being successful going forward?
“In order for us to be successful, we’re going to have to perfect our run game, improve our passing game, and improve our defense. We have great athletes on our team, and if we all work together and for each other, we will go far this year.”

What are your goals for the rest of the season?
“Our goal is to go undefeated, beat teams by 7 points or more, never be tired going into the 4th quarter, and to get a team mural up in our high school.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“I would like to continue to play football in college.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“I’ve been talking to a few colleges. However, I’ve only received one true offer from Frostburg State University.”

What school is recruiting you the hardest?
“Cornell and Penn have been recruiting me hard. Unfortunately, I haven’t received an offer from them yet.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“I have made a few college trips. This summer I visited Penn, West Point and the Naval Academy. I planned on visiting more over the summer, but because of other things going on in my life, I couldn’t. I hope to visit even more.”

Do you have plans for game day trips this fall?
“As of right now, the only team I plan on watching on game day is Frostburg. I would definitely like to see more college games though.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“I was always a huge Penn State fan growing up in my house. I love watching Penn State perform on game day.”
