My ability to take over a film room and recognize what the offense is doing before the snap.

What is your favorite memory of your career?
Either winning the state title during my sophomore season or winning it again during my junior season.

What is some advice you would give to an aspiring D1 athlete?
Take care of game day first. The most important thing in earning real, committable offers is having great game film. Once you’ve established that, then you can focus on camps and recruiting. I’d also recommend talking to people who have been in your specific situation to find out the best steps forward so you can make the best decision.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be?
After talking it over with my parents, I think we all agree we’d love to visit the British Isles, especially Scotland or Ireland.

If you could meet one sports hero, who would it be?
Walter Payton or Ronnie Lott.

What is your favorite sports moment as a fan?
For me, it would probably be the Minneapolis Miracle. I was watching that game live, and it’s always been an incredible moment to look back on, even though I’m not a fan of either team.
