I enjoy football just because it is such a competitive sport.
What is your most memorable athletic moment?
My most memorable moment of football is probably when I scored my first varsity touchdown at the end of my junior year.
Tell us about someone who inspires you in sports and why
The person that inspired me the most in sports is probably my dad because he’s the one that started me off playing football and he was a good athlete and taught me everything he knew and it paid off in the long run.
What are your greatest challenges balancing academics and sports?
Academics come first because if I wasn’t doing good in school I wouldn’t be able to play sports so academics definitely come first.
What are your plans after graduating from high school?
After I graduate high school I am attending Utica College to study construction management and play football.
