Something that not many people know about you: “I watch a lot of news. I like knowing current events. I watch a lot of CNN.”
Best football moment: “It would probably have to be when we beat Hemingway my junior season. We hadn’t beat Hemingway in years, so we were the first Johnsonville team in like six or seven years to beat Hemingway in football. They were winning, we drove the whole field and scored and we ended up being up by, I think, five points. They had two minutes to go, drove it in our territory to about the 40 and we just held them from there and beat them.”
Role model: “My mom because she keeps me in line. Even though I sometimes don’t like the stuff she tells me, I know it’s right and I make myself do it.”
Why Maryland? “I enjoy being around the coaches. I like the coaches a lot and I like the environment because it’s like a family. Everyone gets along good and I see how the linemen interact. And they’re a good program overall academically and athletically. It reminds me a lot of Johnsonville and that’s what I want because I love Johnsonville.”
