What do you feel you have improved on most this off-season?
“I have definitely gotten stronger and faster for sure, those are the 2 things I have improved on the most.”

How do you feel your team will do this football season?
“I feel we will have a very good team this year, we are very young but have some good talent.”

What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“North Oconee will be the toughest opponent we face, they are very big and physical. I think we will be ready to go when the time comes.”

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“I don’t think there is one player that just really stands out, don’t get me wrong there are some good ones but I couldn’t tell you who is going to be the toughest to line up against.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?

Do you have any plans for camps ahead?
“I do not.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
