Favorite Sport (and why): "Football- I love the balance of physical and mental strength of football the best. The large team mentality creates strong camaraderie."

Best Part of High School Sports (and why): "Getting to play on weeknights in front of my school friends. Playing under the Friday night lights is one of my favorite feelings. I love when I get to play in front of a packed stadium."

Best Advice from a High School Coach: "My head football coach Brian Sommers always told our defense three things: Alignment, Assignment, and Fly to the Football. He always preached that it doesn’t matter if you make a mistake, do it with 100% effort. Our motto has always been 'reframe' when things don’t go our way. We come together as one unit and we attack the next play with 100% effort."

Most Memorable Moment in High School Sports: "Our football team beat one of our biggest rivals Lake Country Lutheran at their home field my sophomore year."

Best Part of Playing Three Sports: "I always have something after school all year around. I am constantly active and involved in my school's sports."

Most Difficult Part of Playing Three Sports: "Finding time to get homework done. Two hours of my day have been designated for sports, so finding more time is always a challenge."

Favorite Opponent (and why): "Brookfield Academy- They are our schools biggest rival. I play them in all three sports and we always have good competitive matches. When we beat them, it is the best feeling."

Toughest Individual You’ve Competed Against (and why): "Luke Haertle- He was a senior at Lake Country Lutheran when I was a freshman. He was by far the best athlete I have ever competed against.

He committed to the University of Wisconsin where he was on the basketball team."

Most Admired High School Teammate (and why): "Vidal Colon- He was the hardest worker I have ever played with. He brought 100% effort all the time. Vidal was a great leader, and I got the pleasure to play with him for two years in football and baseball. He is playing baseball at the University of Illinois Chicago."
