How has the season been going so far?
“The season has been great. We are all working really hard and we are all excited about the upcoming season.”

How has the transition been to Valley at this point?
“The transition has been easy. All the guys made me family and I’m really grateful for that.”

What has been the most difficult part about the change?
“I think being in a completely different environment is the hardest factor of the move, but I’m learning the ins and outs of WDM rather quickly.”

What do you feel your team can improve on?
“Being new, I’m still getting to know the team as a unit and how they work. Instead of looking at the team as a whole, I look at what I can do every day to help the team.”

What are the keys for your team being successful going forward?
“I think the key is coming to practice every day wanting to improve and always playing with passion and excitement.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“Yes, my plan is to attend a four-year school and play football for that program.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“It’s a pretty wide variety of schools, but right now, most Ivy League and Big Sky schools are actively in recruitment.”

What school is recruiting you the hardest?
“I would say Valpo, Harvard, and USD are the top schools right now.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“I made a few trips right after my junior season and planned on taking more but those were cancelled due to COVID.”

Do you have plans for game day trips this fall?
“Not at the moment. With the move and transition, I’ve been focused on getting settled in but I’m sure I’ll attend a few games this fall.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“No. When I was younger, I was a baseball player and didn’t really watch college football.”
