How did the high school football season go overall?
“Football is a team sport and as a team, it could’ve been better for us and that starts with me. We lost some close games and finished the season 6-6. As a leader, I’m confident we’ll do much better this coming up season. We’ve been in the weight room and coming together more as a team during workouts building some strong camaraderie.”

What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“Right now I’m in track and field and during my off time getting some throwing workouts in. Along with that, I’m taking visits and I have the Rivals Camp and Elite 11 camp to attend prior to spring ball. We start spring ball on May 2nd.”

How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“Myself along with the team feels good about this upcoming season and so do the coaches. We’re putting in the work early and consistently to make sure we leave everything on the field; every practice and every game.”

What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“We have some great overall competition and great players we’ll be playing against on the entire schedule and it can be anyone’s game on any given Friday, but if I had to pick one team, I would say Langston Hughes.”

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“Chase Taylor from Stockbridge for sure. Much respect to him. He’s a beast.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“I do, I’m working hard every day to continue getting recruited for football. It’s my passion. It’s what I love to do and I’m going to make sure I do everything on my part that’s within my control to make that happen. I also feel I can compete in track and field at the college level when I pick a school.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“The schools that have been most consistent in contact with me are Mississippi State, West Virginia, LSU, Cincinnati, UCF, Georgia Tech, Georgia State and USF.”

What school is recruiting you the hardest?
“Mississippi State, West Virginia, Cincinnati, UCF and Georgia State are recruiting me the hardest right now.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“I made college visits to Mississippi State, Cincinnati, UCF, Georgia Tech, Georgia State, UAB, USF.”

Do you have plans for any trips soon?
“I have a visit scheduled to West Virginia on 4/22.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“My favorite school growing up was Clemson.”
