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

I’ve played football since I was 3 I love the game that’s what keeps me going and I love playing with the group I play with

What has to change for Canton McKinley to get back to being one of the most feared teams in the state?

For McKinley to get back to one of the most feared teams we have to simply want it bad enough we have the talent and equipment all we need is the desire.


Can you share with the readers some of the colleges that have shown some interest in you?

I have interest from different schools including Kentucky, Wisconsin, Pitt, Perdue, and more to come.

Would you rather lose to Massillon and make the state finals or beat Massillon and lose early in the playoffs?

I would much rather beat Massilon and lose early in the playoffs it’s the game of the year and we haven’t won that game in years so that would be the team’s biggest accomplishment of the season if you ask me.

Who is the best player you have ever faced, along with the team he played for?

The best player I’ve played against is Will Smith from dublin coffman.

What are your thoughts on 16 teams from each region qualifying for the playoffs?

As far as the playoffs go I feel the teams that make it deserve it. Also, the team that wins it

Massilon has to be the worst stadium I’ve played in it’s just such bad energy from that place.

What must you improve on the most to become a better player?

I have to improve on speed and twitch my height advantage along with breakaway speed.

Describe your worst sports performance and your best. What did you learn from these experiences?

My worst sport performance ever was a basketball game it taught me to never give up. My best performance was sophomore year first game I didn’t start or play the first 3 series when I got in I ran the ball all the way to the one-yard line from midfield and by the end of the game I was the lead receiver it thought me to stay humble because you never know what’s coming your way.

How would your coaches and teammates describe you?

I would be described as tall with speed and an overall good player.

Which side of the ball do you believe you are best at? Explain.

To be honest I don’t know what side of the ball I perform my best I just go out and play my hardest.

The last book I read was “ Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson, M.D.

My favorite team in college is Ohio State least favorite organ.
