What have you been doing as of late with off-season workouts?
“For my school we have workouts Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Wednesday we have football, I lift Monday through Friday on my own and work agility and speed drills on the weekends.”

What do you feel you have improved on most this off-season?
“I think mostly I have improved a ton on my blocking, as a TE I need to block and catch, I’ve gotten better blocking as far as footwork and form when blocking.”

How do you feel your team will do this football season?
“I think we will do very well; our chemistry is off the charts. We only graduated a few seniors last year so it will basically be the same team two years in a row. We really play together as a team.”

What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“Our toughest game this year I believe will be against Broomfield. We are moving up a division from 3A to 4A and they seem to be the toughest ones we’re going to face, I believe if we play together as a team we can get the job done.”

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“I don’t think there is an individual player we’re going to face that will be hard. It takes a whole team to win a football game, not an individual. You can have a 5-star athlete on your team but if the rest of the team isn’t in it for each other the team will crumble.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“Yes I do want to play sports in college. I want to play football.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“I have 4 D2 offers as of right now for football; SMSU, USF, FLC, and Wayne State college. However I have attracted a lot of attention from other D1 programs like SDSU, Wyoming, and EWU.”

What school is recruiting you the hardest?
“The school that is recruiting me the hardest is probably (as of right now) either SMSU or FLC.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“Yes I have made a ton. As I’m writing this I just got back from FLC, I’ve been to camps at Wyoming, SDSU, EWU, Colorado Mesa, Western Colorado, and others. I got invited to a ton of unofficial visits to various schools including the University of Idaho and WSU.”

Do you have plans for more trips soon?
“Yes, coming in July I will be attending camps at UJ, mines, CSU Pueblo and Chadron State college.”

Have you done any camps this off-season? How do you feel you performed?
“I’ve done many camps this offseason and aren't great at all of them, earning 3 of my 4 offers at camps.”

Do you have any plans for camps ahead?
“Yes I will be at UJ, Mines, CSU Pueblo and Chadron State college.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“My favorite college growing up was the University of Notre Dame, my mom liked them and I liked their gold helmets. My mom and I used to watch the games together.”
