Growing up, were you inspired by any NFL Players?
Growing up the player who really inspired me was Cam Newton, during 2015 and 2016 when he was Super Cam. I liked him because he was electrifying and always made big plays. I also really liked Tom Brady because my dad is a Patriots fan, and he made that amazing comeback.

What is your offseason training like?
I practice with varsity and we start our performance course at 7 am. We do weightlifting, sprint drills, and football skills.
What is your favorite memory of your career?
My favorite moment of my career is the last game of 8th grade. It was our last game together and it was freezing rain, almost snowing and then at half time we had a lightning delay for 30 minutes and everyone warmed up in the gym. When we came back everyone was locked in and it was an amazing feeling. I was so locked in I didn’t feel any of the freezing rain or the cold, I just went out and played ball like nothing mattered. I heated up going 5/5 on passes in the freezing rain and scored the only touchdown the whole game, and had almost 200 rushing yards.

My favorite food is either a burger or fettuccini alfredo with a side of meatballs and mix the marinara sauce in with the alfredo.
When did you realize you were talented at football?
The first time I realized I was talented was in 7th grade. It was my first tackle season and I was just doing really good. We heated up only losing 2 games, to Prosper and Highland Park.
