Question: What are some of your strengths as a football player, and what are some of the things you’ve had to work at the hardest to become the player you are?
Answer: Some of my strengths as a player would be knowledge and experience. I have a year under my belt which I think gives me an advantage. Things I’ve had to work on are situations and moments of the game and what to do in those impactful moments.
Q: What does it mean to you to be a Chieftain and what do you want your legacy to be?
A: Being a Chieftain is being something more than a player or athlete. You are part of a town and history. You represent the town of Logan. For my legacy, I would like to be remembered for years to come. I want kids to be told about me and how I was as a person and want to grow up like me.
Q: What are some of the ways that you show senior leadership to your underclassman teammates?
A: Helping them at their position, motivating them and pushing them to help us succeed. Ultimately being their friend. Just being a friend and help them a lot.
Q: What other sports do you play, besides football, and what is your favorite sport and why?
A: Baseball. I love both baseball and football, but my favorite lies in football because of the atmosphere (and) adrenaline rush.
Q: What are some of your top athletic accomplishments or memories?
A: Starting varsity is one accomplishment, but also going to the Super Bowl in 2008 in Tomahawks with some of the other seniors. Freshman year of football is definitely a memory as we had around 17 kids and lost only one game.
Q: What do you want to do when you are an adult, and why?
A: I want to be successful in whatever I happen to do.
Q: Who has had the greatest influence on your life, and why?
