How did the high school football season go overall?
“My high school football season was great. Early in the season, we lost to Urbandale which pretty much changed the course of our season. We were able to make it to the playoffs and ended up beating Dowling in the semifinal game to make it to the state championship.”
What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“Currently I am in my track season where I throw shot put and discus. I am also staying committed to lifting and football workouts during the offseason. I lift four times a week, do 2 speed training a week, and 2 offensive lineman training a week.”
How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“Man, I am so pumped for next season! I think we will do great and win a state championship. We have a lot of talent and guys that are willing to put in the work to be the best in the state of Iowa.”
What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“I think Dowling or Southeast Polk will be our toughest competition this season. The Valley/Dowling rivalry is always fun and intense. Both schools really want to win that game and have bragging rights for the year!”
Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“I think the toughest individual player we face this season is SEP's running back CJ Phillips.”
Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“Yes, I plan on playing football in college. I am hoping to play for a D1 school however I am open to playing for a smaller school as well. I want to play for a college or university that will help me grow as both a player and a young man.”
What colleges have been recruiting you?
“I have had very close communication with both Iowa State and the University of Iowa. I have also been in contact with Kansas State and University of Nebraska (I am visiting those schools in the next couple weeks). I have also been recruited by many smaller schools and am excited to get out to visit Wayne State, UNI, Iowa Central, Minnesota State, and Grandview...just to name a few.”
What school is recruiting you the hardest?
“I haven't had my visits to Kansas State and Nebraska yet, but I would say the University of Iowa has been recruiting me the hardest. I have gotten to know Coach Niemann really well throughout this process and absolutely love him.”
Have you made any college trips yet?
“I have been to both Iowa State and the University of Iowa (many times). I have also been to Grandview which was great! In the next few weeks I will be visiting the University of Nebraska, Kansas State, and Wayne State.”
Do you have plans for any trips soon?
“I answered that in the previous question, but I am going to Kansas State, University of Nebraska, Wayne State, Iowa Central, and then the University of Iowa again at the end of the month.”
Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“I would definitely say that Iowa State University was my favorite college growing up. My grandpa, my uncle, and my mom all went there. My parents have had season tickets since I was two so I literally grew up going to those games. I still go up there each and every Saturday when there's a home game. We typically travel to their bowl games as well. I have loved to watch how much they have changed and progressed and how they continue to get better and better.”
