How long have you played football, along with the reasons you continue to play?

Freshman year. I love the brotherhood, competing, and working hard. 

What was the high point of your 2023 season?

We won our first round of the playoffs, the best game of my season, with seven pancakes and a play that gained us 15 yards to score another touchdown.

What was the low point of your 2023 season?

Losing in the second round playoffs to a really good Highlands team. 

What are you going to miss the most from the 2024 class?

We had a special team with some great guys.

Who has been the best player you have ever faced in a game, along with the team he played for?

Brach Rice, Dixie Heights. He’s just built differently. 

Offensive line or defensive line, which do you feel is the hardest to prepare for? Explain:

On the offensive line, you have plays to memorize and a QB to protect; on the defensive line, you just have to get the ball at any cost. 

For a lineman, which type of weather is the toughest to play in?

Hot, humid weather

If you are invited to play in the Northern Kentucky all-star game, will you?

Oh, heck yeah!

I have just started asking players and coaches this question. Do private schools have an unfair advantage over public schools?

I’ve talked to a few coaches.

What is one thing you'd like to do in a game that you most likely never get to?

Carry the ball; just run through the line to score a TD.
