Question: How did you first start playing football?

Answer: I first started playing football in sixth grade after some of my friends told me how fun it was.

Q: What do you like most about playing football?

A: The feeling of overcoming difficulties and challenges with my friends.

Q: What is your favorite part of game night?

A: When I step out on the field for the first play - the adrenaline and excitement feels great.

Q: What is your favorite football memory?

A: A JV game two years ago (when) Scott Tang got hit super hard and was lying on the ground for a little bit. When he sat up, he screamed, "Where's my mouth guard!" and it was like two inches away from him. Everyone on the field was cracking up.

Q: What is your favorite play to run on game night and why?

A: Any blitz play, because getting huge hits for a loss feels great.

Q: Who is the funniest guy on your team and why?

A: Dylan Hanson - he's always in a good mood and says random stuff a lot that makes everyone laugh.

Q: What is your usual/favorite pregame meal?

A: I like to get a sweet-onion chicken teriyaki foot long from Subway.

Q: Do you have any pregame rituals/superstitions?

A: Not really. I just try to be in a good mood and have lots of energy.

Q: Is there a reason you chose your jersey number?

A: Nothing in particular. Bryce Garcia picked up No. 1, and he said I should grab No. 2. So I did.

Q: What position, other than the ones you currently play, would you like to try and why?

A: I would like to give D-line a try. It seems fun to be able to fight with a couple other guys and then possibly make a huge play.

Q: What drill do you dislike running the most in practice?

A: None in particular. All our drills are pretty fun, and if not, they are pretty informational.

Q: Do you root for the Huskies or Cougars and why?

A: I don't really like either. But if I had to choose, I'd go with Huskies, just because I may go to school there.

Q: Who is your favorite NFL player and why?

A: Even though he doesn't play anymore, Dick Butkus will always be my favorite. He was a beast.

Q: What do you think is the best sports movie and why?

A: The best sports movie is "Brian's Song." It's a classic and very inspirational.

Q: What other sports do you like to play?

A: I do wrestling and have been doing so since I was 5.

Q: What do you plan to do after you are done with high school?

A: I plan on going to a different country and study abroad.

A: I like ceramics and drawing. I also like to go off-roading and shooting.

Q: What is the most played song on your iPod?

A: Beethoven's Ninth.

Q: What is your favorite TV show and why?

A: I like to watch "Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman."

Q: What is your favorite video game?

A: I have lots, but probably Dead Space 2.
