What do you want to do after graduation and why?: Not sure yet but leaning towards Navy pilot. I always wanted to fly when I was younger and I still find it interesting.

Why did you choose Navy?: It is the best place to learn aerospace engineering and the skills I will learn here and in the fleet will set me up for success afterwards.

What would you tell somebody that is considering coming to Navy to play football?: You get to play big time football and you will be set for life.

If you could play another position, what position would you play and why?: I would play wide receiver. When I played receiver in the past, I was always a reliable target with great hands that never got tackled by the first man.

If you could choose any opponent for Navy to play that is currently not on the schedule, who would you choose and why?: University of Georgia. To prove that we can ball against the best and put us on a big stage. I am also from there and know a lot of people that attend UGA, so getting to play a game close to home would be fun.

Favorite class at the Naval Academy and why?: My favorite class that I have taken so far would be leadership because open discussion was highly encouraged and it was interesting to hear others' opinions on certain topics.

Hardest class at the Naval Academy and why?: The hardest class for me was chemistry, it is a difficult class in general.

Favorite teacher at the Naval Academy and why?: My favorite teacher here is Captain Cofer. He was my Naval History teacher and he often added his own insights from personal experience into what he taught us and he also is interested in our personal lives, giving us a stronger connection.

Favorite form of social media and why?: I do not use a lot of social media, so my favorite would be Instagram. I enjoy seeing posts of friends and family to help me keep up and I also like seeing funny or motivational posts. 

Favorite person to follow on social media and why?: I do not have a favorite person specifically, but I enjoy following pages that cover all kinds of sports.

If you could have dinner with any 4 people at the Naval Academy who would you choose?: I would choose Captain Cofer, Professor McWilliams, Gunnery Sergeant Esparza Garcia and Colonel Pallotta.

Favorite sport to follow at the Naval Academy outside of football and why?: Track and field. I ran for two years in high school and that built my interest for the sport and I have friends that run track here.

If you didn't play football at Navy, what sport would you play and why?: I would either play baseball or run track. I played baseball for 10 years and I think I still got it, but I really like the track environment even though practice is hard.

What song is playing on your headphones in the locker room right before taking the field?: "Mr. Glock" by Key Glock
