What are you going to miss the most about playing high school football?

What I'm going to miss the most about playing is that I will never be able to play with the brothers that I've grown up with and have played with since I was 6 years old.

What is your biggest regret looking back on your football career at Dixie Heights?

My biggest regret is losing back-to-back close games in the final seconds to Beechwood and Cov Cath. It was my last time playing those two schools, and to lose and suffer heartbreak is a hard pill to swallow.

What is your favorite memory from playing football?

My favorite memory from playing football was upsetting Woodford County in the first round of the playoffs this year after being huge underdogs.

How important is it to you to be invited to play in the Northern Kentucky All-Star Series game?

It is very important to me because I believe that I am one of the better Northern Kentucky players, and I felt like I proved that this year!

What were your feelings as you walked off the field for the last time as a high school football player?

The emotions were really high because knowing that was my last ever high school game and, at that point, thinking it was my last ever football game really just hurt me and didn’t feel real.

What has football taught you that you can use in life off the field?

No matter what happens and what setbacks bring you, you just have to keep fighting and prove that you can do it.

If you could go back and play one last high school game, who are you playing against and why that team?

The game would be the Cov Cath game this year, when we lost on a 4th down touchdown with 13 seconds left. It was a heart breaker, but the best a Dixie team has played in a while. Dixie hasn’t beaten Cov Cath since 2007, and when I stepped foot at Dixie, the goal was to beat Cov Cath. Knowing we came that close to beating them was a terrible feeling but also a good one.

Safety, Linebacker, and Defensive End. Of the three positions you are listed as playing, which one are you being recruited for?

Of the 3 positions, the most I would say are an outside linebacker and a defensive end spot.

Can you share with everyone some of the teams that are recruiting you?
I am committed to Bellarmine University, but I also had teams like Ohio Wesleyan, Mount St. Joe, and Otterbein.

What has been the best and worst part of the recruiting process?
 

The best part was finding my home at Bellarmine, and the worst part was going on those long car rides.

Since you have signed with a school close to home, will you go back and watch any Dixie Heights games this year?

With Bellarmine being in Louisville, I will definitely come back and watch a game!

What will you be majoring in once you are enrolled in college?

I will be majoring in nursing!

What is one sport you wish you could play but do not have the talent for?

I wish I was a good golf player, but for me, it’s not mine!

Who is your favorite athlete?

My favorite athlete is Jamarr Chase.

What was the last book you read along with the author?

The last book I read was Their Eyes Were Watching God by Nora Zeale Hurston in reading class!
