What have you been doing as of late with off-season workouts?
“The main thing I’ve been doing as of late with my off-season workouts is physical therapy. I received surgery in early November for my shoulder because of a torn labrum. So, I’ve been really attacking physical therapy so I can come back stronger and better than ever.”

What do you feel you have improved on most since last football season?
“The thing I feel like I have improved on the most since last football season is my mental edge and toughness. Having to have surgery and miss half of my junior football season was hard on me, having to come back from that and get ready for my senior season has helped me greatly in gaining a mental edge and increasing my mental toughness.”

How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“I feel like my team will do great this next football season! We’re transitioning to more of a player led team every day and that is what it takes to be a great football team.”

What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“I feel like Grayson will be the toughest competition on my team’s schedule this year. As a team we love it though! The competition, being able to compete! That’s what we live for.”

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“To be honest there are a lot of great football players we will face off against this season. It’s hard to choose one. We play in the highest classification of Georgia football in a very competitive region. Every Friday night there will be great players lined up in front of us.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“Yes, I want to play football in college.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“High academic schools have been recruiting me. Schools like Yale, Cornell, Wake Forest.”

What school is recruiting you the hardest?

Have you made any college trips yet?
“No, I have not made any college trips yet.”

Do you have plans for more trips soon?
“I will be attending and competing in some college camps this summer.”

What camps are you planning to do this summer?
