How has everything with the football season been going so far?
“The football season has been going really well. We had a tough loss against ADM week 3, but we came back and smoked Fairfield.”

What do you feel your team can improve on?
“Our team is made up of mostly juniors, which causes some error so somethings we could work on would be catching the ball and blocking the secondary. That would allow us to open to some bigger gains than what we have been getting. Another thing would be starting the football game with a bang to really hit teams down from the get go.”

What are the keys for your team being successful going forward?
“Ways to be successful would be to stay healthy because the majority of us play both ways so if someone gets hurt, it's a big hit. We also just need to be prepared for the teams we are playing and then we should be in every game.”

What are your goals for the rest of the season?
“Our goals are to get to the playoffs and if we win out, we would get to that goal. My goals are to do whatever I can to accomplish the teams’ goal whether it is playing o-line, tight end or d-line.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“Right now, I haven't had too much recruitment activity, but I did go Iowa's junior day early last spring and was also invited to Iowa's camp and Iowa State’s camp.”

Have any colleges offered you
“I currently have no scholarship offers.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“I visited Iowa's facilities during the spring for Iowa's junior day.”

Do you have plans for more trips soon?
“Right now, I have no planned visits.”

What camps did you do this summer and how did they go?
“I went to four camps this summer at the University of Northern Iowa, Iowa State, Iowa, and Northwestern University.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“I never really had a favorite team. I cheered for Iowa State, Iowa, and also the University of Missouri because that's where my mom ran track.”
