Why did you choose Millersville?
I chose Millersville because it was close to home so my family could see me play. It has a great business program and a good campus overall.
Why did you choose your major?
I chose sports business because I would like the opportunity to coach at the college or NFL level. If those plans don’t work out I plan on staying in sports and being a part of the business side of it.
What is your favorite memory as a Millersville student-athlete?
My favorite memory was my first career start against Seton Hill.
What is one piece of advice you would give to aspiring athletes?
A piece of advice is that you must love what you do. And no matter the challenge in front of you, don’t be scared of it, attack it.
What is one of your pregame rituals?
I don’t have any--just trying to get my mind and body relaxed and focused.
What is one word you would use to describe being part of your team?
Hungry. This team has been through a lot of highs and lows but we are going to do anything necessary to win football games.
What do you normally do on your off days, if you get any?
If I have a day off I usually just hang out at the apartment and try and get extra treatment.
How has participating in athletics at Millersville impacted you?
Playing at Millersville has impacted in many ways. First, I have been able to be a part of a family that no one can take away from me. It has also connected me with people that are alums here who can help me tremendously after college. And I have made some amazing memories while playing here that I will cherish forever.
What is a typical day for you when you are in-season?
A typical day is morning meetings, then some extra film work with Coach Tomasetti.
What is the best thing about being a student-athlete at Millersville?
The best thing about being a student-athlete here is being able to get my degree at a great university while doing what I love, playing football.
If you could have dinner with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?
Larry Bird, Tom Brady, Muhammad Ali, Carson Wentz, Robert Kraft. And I would take them to Javaville: the best breakfast sandwich place in Lancaster. Shout out, Mike!
What is your go-to karaoke song?
I refuse to sing, sorry.
