Question: How did you first start playing football?

Answer: My parents allowed me to join through the local Boys & Girls Club. Haven't regretted it since.

Q: What do you like most about playing football?

A: Playing as and with the team.

Q: What is your favorite part of game night?

A: Going back onto the field, through our fan-made tunnel, after halftime to the bright lights and cheering crowd.

Q: What is your favorite football memory?

A: In sixth grade, my team, North Side, was allowed to play at Qwest Field against South Side.

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

A: Any trap play, because I'm either ear-holing a linebacker or hunting down a safety on a superfly.

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

A: Jeremiah Cronk, because he is.

Q: What is your usual/favorite pregame meal?

A: Usual is some kind of sandwich with fruit, but my favorite, so far, has been meatball sandwiches.

A: None of my own.

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

A: Nope, nada and nope again.

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

A: Neither, go Ducks.

Q: Who is your favorite NFL player and why?

A: Not exactly current, but Lawrence Taylor. He epitomized what a football player should be.

A: "Remember the Titans," because a team that others really didn't expect anything from was able to come together and dominate.

Q: What other sports do you like to play?

A: Baseball and snowboarding.

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

A: Probably go to Eastern Washington or a fire academy to get a degree in fire science.

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

A: "Palmdale" by Afroman.

Q: What is your favorite TV show and why?

A: "The Walking Dead," because of the zombies.

Q: What is your favorite video game?

A: Portal.

Q: What is your most favorite and least favorite class in school and why?

A: Biology is my favorite, because it's able to hold my full attention the longest. Political science is my least because ... politics.

Q: What is your favorite Tweet to follow, and why?

A: I don't always Tweet but when I do, I don't.
