What do you want to do after graduation and why? Naval Aviation or Marine Ground. Both of these communities offer great opportunities and experiences.
Why did you choose Navy? I chose to come to the Naval Academy because this place builds leaders. It is the best combination of athletics and academics in the country. I really wanted to be a part of the Brotherhood where I can develop as a man, leader and player.

If you could choose any opponent for Navy to play that is currently not on the schedule, who would you choose and why? Texas A&M, I have a lot of friends that go there and it would be fun to beat them in their stadium in front of 100 thousand people.

Tell us one thing about you that would make a good feature story? I watched my first college football game when I was 6 days old. My dad recorded me and said, "Son, this is your destiny." It happened to be a Navy game.
If there was a movie about your life what would it be called and who would play you? "Super Hornet" because it's a go to for air to air and air to ground defense and that's what I'm here to do on and off the field. Maybe Troy Palumalu because he's my favorite safety and is kind of an actor already in the Head and Shoulders commercials.
