What do you want to do after graduation and why? USMC Ground. Marines are the toughest and most disciplined people I have met, so I want to surround myself with those people every day.
 
Why did you choose Navy?  I wanted to serve my country, but still have the opportunity to play college football and get a great education.
 
What would you tell somebody that is considering coming to Navy to play football? With how chaotic college football is now, this is one of the few places where you can still experience spending four years playing with the same guys and developing a bond while going through football, classes and summer training together. There's a reason it's called the Brotherhood.
 
If you could play another position, what position would you play and why? Raider or D-end so that I can pass rush against Connor McMahon and Creedyn Foulger every day.
 
If you could choose any opponent for Navy to play that is currently not on the schedule, who would you choose and why? Ohio State. Growing up in Ohio, I always wanted to go play in the Shoe.
 
Favorite class at the Naval Academy and why?  20th Century Naval Strategy and Thought with CAPT Armstrong. It was really interesting and helped me develop a lot.
 
Hardest class at the Naval Academy and why? Chemistry II. It made absolutely no sense.
 
Favorite teacher at the Naval Academy and why? Professor Bellenoit in the History Department. I've had an excellent time working with him on my research project.
 
Favorite form of social media and why?  Instagram. Helps me keep in touch with friends from back home who I haven't seen in years.
 
Favorite person to follow on social media and why? JJ Watt. Absolute beast on the field and a class act off of it.
 
If you could have dinner with any 4 people that are currently at the Naval Academy who would you choose and why? Coach Jay Guillermo, Connor McMahon, Creedyn Foulger and RJ Davis. I think that these four together would be a really fun group.
 
Favorite sport to follow at the Naval Academy outside of football and why? Basketball. My roommate is going to be their captain next year.
 
If you didn't play football at Navy, what sport would you play and why? Rugby, because it's the next closest thing.
 
What song is playing on your headphones in the locker room right before taking the field? Got Your Six by Five Finger Death Punch
 
What is your dream vacation? A marlin fishing trip
 
What is the best thing about being in the American Athletic Conference? Being able to play a lot of great competition every week.
 
What do you think about Army being in the American Athletic Conference? Maybe we'll get the opportunity to beat 'em twice in one year.
 
Favorite Coach Newberry Quote: "Success of this program is your very best."
