What do you want to do after graduation and why? Weighing my options, but I think flying jets would be pretty cool.
 

Why did you choose Navy?  I chose Navy because I wanted the challenge. I saw the great opportunities it would bring and the places it could take me. 

What would you tell somebody that is considering coming to Navy to play football? Do it. This place is going to knock you down and you just have to keep getting back up. You will meet your brothers and build bonds and relationships that will last a lifetime.

If you could play another position, what position would you play and why?  I would play QB. I used to spin the rock a time or two back in high school and the triple seems really fun to run.

If you could choose any opponent for Navy to play that is currently not on the schedule, who would you choose and why?  Boise State. Always wanted to play on the blue turf.

Favorite class at the Naval Academy and why?  Cyber 2. I know that sounds crazy but a lot of my friends on the team were in the class and we had the coolest teacher.

Hardest class at the Naval Academy and why?  Physics II was a blender.

Favorite teacher at the Naval Academy and why?  Lt. Anderson because he's super passionate and doesn't hold anything back when talking to his students.

Favorite form of social media and why?  Instagram. Keeps me up to date on current events.

Favorite person to follow on social media and why?  Joe Rogan. Super interesting guy. I learn something new everyday.

If you could have dinner with any 4 people at the Naval Academy who would you choose?: Jordan Sanders, Kyle Jacob, Kenzo Viteri and Logan Point because I don't think I've ever laughed more at dinner tables than I do with them.

Favorite sport to follow at the Naval Academy outside of football and why?  Men's Lacrosse because it's sick to watch and a lot of my friends play. Women's Lacrosse is also really fun to watch as well.

If you didn't play football at Navy, what sport would you play and why?  I would play baseball. I was recruited out of high school as a pitcher. There's nothing better than being on the bump just absolutely dealing with all eyes on you.

What song is playing on your headphones in the locker room right before taking the field? Welcome To The Circus by Five Finger Death Punch
