I had the luxury to get quick interview with him
What got you into football?
One of my older cousins, because me and him were so close that we use to do everything together, we had started playing park ball together and went to middle school and played middle school together and got up to high school and played together then he switched to another team, but I just check on him just for the love of the guy.
Who was your favorite player growing up and current player to watch?
When I was younger it was OBJ, and now its Travis Kelce, when I was younger I wanted to be a wide receiver even though i played Oline, but now I want to play Tightend in college because I played it in middle school and I just love Tightend and Travis Kelce is definitely a role model for me.
Best memory playing football?
In High school football I was playing defensive end and caught a pick against Eleanor McMain and ran it back for a pick six.
What is your greatest trait?
My hard work and I never quit.
What does wrestling translate to football for you?
The explosiveness and aggressiveness, and going for a tackle having specific moves that you can do that translate over.
What recruiting and camp process been like?
Most camp I go to most people look at me because I am big, like buff, but Ir really don’t get a lot of offers but I get a lot of recognition, but I really have not got any offers.
