What do you want to do after graduation and why? As far as service selection, I am still undecided. After my service, I would like to start my own business or work on Wall Street
Why did you choose Navy? I chose Navy because I would get to make memories nobody else gets to make, It's a top education and I get to play D1 football
What would you tell somebody that is considering coming to Navy to play football? I'd tell them that coming to Navy would put you in a position to better yourself and your future and you get to do that around an elite group of guys. Nobody in the country works or plays harder than Navy football players
If you could play another position, what position would you play and why? I would play either raider or tight end. I would play raider because its similar to my position only I would have some pass responsibilities which would be cool and I'd play TE because I have decent speed and some hands.
If you could choose any opponent for Navy to play that is currently not on the schedule who would you choose and why? I would choose Maryland because they are a Power 5 school in the Big 10 and they're the only other FBS school in Maryland so I think that rivalry would be pretty cool. We could call it the crab bowl.
Favorite class at the Naval Academy and why? Naval History so far because the workload wasn't too bad and the things we learned were actually kind of interesting.
Hardest class at the Naval Academy and why? Chemistry by far. I am not too sure why but I have always struggled with chemistry and I find it pointless.
Favorite teacher at the Naval Academy and why? LCDR Beitler, because he is one of the coolest guys I have met. He was an athlete at the Naval Academy and is currently a Navy SEAL with a great taste in music.
Favorite form of social media and why? Probably Instagram because I get to post football pictures and see how everybody else is doing.
Favorite person to follow on social media and why? I don't have a favorite person, but if I had to choose one it would be Navy Football because I get some of my pictures from there.
Favorite sport to follow at the Naval Academy outside of football and why? Basketball, because I have a lot of friends on the team and it is my second favorite sport.
If you didn't play football at Navy, what sport would you play and why? I would play basketball, because I have decent height and a good shot. I would have loved to play basketball in college so I would live out that dream.
If you had to be quarantined with four people associated with Navy Football, who would you choose and why? Xavier McDonald, Biscuit (Donald Berniard), Will Harbour, and Sam Glover because those are my guys and they are fun group of dudes to make things interesting
What song is playing on your headphones in the locker room right before taking the field? Lord Knows - Meek Mill
What is your dream vacation? Anywhere in Mexico. From what I've seen, that place gets kinda crazy.
How many teams should make the FBS Playoffs? 8
What is the best thing about being in the American Athletic Conference? The conference is slept on and every year there's at least one team that is super good. Also last year I think we had 5 ranked teams at one point
Favorite Coach Niumatalolo quote: You guys are some tough dudes
One word to describe a Navy Football player: Different
Who will be the surprise player on offense in 2021 and why? Daniel Jones, he is so freaking fast
Who will be the surprise player on defense in 2021 and why? Will Harbour, because he is learning from Diego and has a crazy work ethic
Who is the toughest player on the Navy football team and why? Diego Fagot, because he always has a cast on so he's always straining his body to inflict pain on others
What player epitomizes Navy Football and why? I would say Kevin Brennan because he is not the biggest or the fastest but he is very tough and a great leader
Who will be the Most Valuable Player on offense in 2021 and why? Chance Warren, because he is a dawg.
Who will be the Most Valuable Player on defense in 2021 and why? Diego Fagot, because last year speaks for itself
What was the biggest lesson you learned during COVID-19? Don't take anything for granted and time is precious so spend your time wisely
What are you most looking forward to in 2021 now that things are back to "normal"? Living life without a mask and being able to properly celebrate with my guys after a win.
