How did the high school football season go overall?
“I think that our season overall went very well. We had an amazing regular season only losing one game to Valor and it was a close game. Just couldn’t pull it off in the end. Our post season was great too! We ended up beating Doherty in the first round and then beating Arapahoe in the second round to move into play Cherry Creek. We felt ready and we’re down 14-7 at half but then they just slowly started to add on to that lead. Overall a great season ending 11-2.”

What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“My plans with workouts are just hitting off-season lifts with my teammates and just working out on my own time. Also working on speed training and explosiveness. I’m also currently playing basketball too, hoping to make a deep run into the playoffs.”

How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“I’m excited about next season for sure. I think we have a lot of returners and a pretty equal amount of experience on both sides of the ball. I feel our offense has a lot of threats in the WR area and we have tons of playmakers on defense. I think we will have a good chance to make a playoff run too.”

What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“Vista for sure, their whole offense is returning and they are explosive and dangerous in the pass and run game. They’re really going to test our defense this year and our team as a whole.”

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“I think the toughest player as an individual will be Carter Daniels. He is fast and just a freak athlete. I think he will test our offense for sure.”

Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?
“I do want to play football in college. That’s been my dream ever since I’ve been a little kid so that’s what I’m working towards.”

What colleges have been recruiting you?
“The colleges that have been recruiting me are Kansas, Houston, Iowa State and Wyoming.”

What school is recruiting you the hardest?
“I would say Kansas has been recruiting me the hardest for sure. Just reaching out, sending me stuff and having phone calls with coaches.”

Have you made any college trips yet?
“I have been out to Wyoming for a game and a tour of the facilities.”

Do you have plans for any trips soon?
“I’m planning to go to KU and Houston this March and hopefully some more schools.”

Did you have a favorite college growing up?
“I did, my favorite college was USC as I grew up in So-Cal so I’ve been a fan of them my whole life.”
