What have you been doing as of late with off-season workouts?
“I’ve been lifting a lot, not just heavy but also functional and high intensity movements. Along with ladder and cone drills to improve my footwork and explosiveness.”
What do you feel you have improved on most since last football season?
“Speed and explosiveness. During wrestling, I had leaned out slightly and worked a lot on powerful movements. However, I’m stronger than I’ve ever been and right at my playing weight.”
What are you trying to improve on before the football season begins?
“Learning the ins and outs of the game along with continuing to improve my athletic ability.”
How do you feel your team will do this football season?
“I’m very excited about the guys we have returning, many of which had playing time or were right at the heels of senior starters. Our sophomore team that will be coming up also had a very strong season with some very talented athletes. I look forward to taking on more of a leader position this year as one of the few returning starters.”
Who do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“Bettendorf sticks out to me because playing them was one of the best games of my career and one of the toughest, but I feel our district has a lot of talent all around.”
Who is your opponent in the season opener and how do you feel about them overall?
“Ames High School. We’ve had a lot of success playing them in the past, however we don’t take any team lightly and play every game the same.”
Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“Yes, football.”
What colleges have been recruiting you?
“Drake, the University of Minnesota Duluth, Minnesota State Mankato, Winona State, Bemidji State, Wayne State, the University of Sioux Falls, Minnesota Crookston, Augustana University, and Bethel University. These are the schools most involved.”
Have you made any college trips yet?
“I’ve been to six junior days and declined others due to conflict. I have been to Winona State, Drake University, Wayne State, the University of Sioux Falls, Minnesota State Mankato, and Bemidji State.”
Do you have plans for more trips soon?
“Camps are the next thing in line. My first one is May 31st at Winona State.”
What camps are you planning to do this summer?
“My schedule is not set. The ones I am sure of so far are NDSU, Winona State, Drake University, and Minnesota State Mankato.”
Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“Growing up in Cedar Falls, my dad took me to many UNI games.”
