What do you want to do after graduation and why?  I have always found flight and space interesting growing up, so I would love to commission as a Navy Pilot or cross-commission into the Space Force.

Why did you choose Navy?  The Naval Academy is the best place to play big-time football while studying Aerospace Engineering, not to mention there are plenty of benefits from graduating from a military academy.

What would you tell somebody that is considering coming to Navy to play football?  If they want to play for the toughest team in the country, this is the place for them.

If you could play another position, what position would you play and why? Wide Receiver. Being able to go back to my roots and get the ball in my hands to help our team win would be a great feeling and I know I have the skills to do so.

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 want to play Northwestern. I have a close friend who plays for them, so getting to dominate them and claim bragging rights would be fun.

Favorite class at the Naval Academy and why?  My favorite class is Principles of Aerospace Engineering II, or Intro to Astro. I enjoyed this class because we got to learn all about how space works and how objects in space function and are affected by other factors, which I find very interesting.

Hardest class at the Naval Academy and why?  The hardest class I have taken so far at the Naval Academy is Dynamics for Aerospace Engineers. There are almost too many ways to go about solving a problem but each one takes forever and you can still easily get it wrong. Unfortunately, I have a feeling this answer will change next year.

Favorite teacher at the Naval Academy and why?  My favorite teacher here is Lt. Cmdr. Wallace. He brings a great energy to the classroom and makes learning fun and easy.

Favorite form of social media and why?  My favorite social media is YouTube. I like unwinding by throwing on a video while I eat.

Favorite person to follow on social media and why?  My favorite person to follow is RDCWorld1, who is actually a group of people that perform skits, play video games and host major events.

If you could have dinner with any 4 people that are currently at the Naval Academy who would you choose and why? I would have dinner with Lt. Cmdr. Wallace, Chief Cook, GySgt. Morris and Coach Eric Lewis. These four people I know well and would provide lots of knowledge as well as entertainment.

Favorite sport to follow at the Naval Academy outside of football and why?  I like to keep up with track and field because I like seeing some of the times our athletes run. I also have some friends who run, so I make sure to support them.

If you didn't play football at Navy, what sport would you play and why?  I would most likely play baseball. Baseball was my first love and I played it the longest, so getting to go back to my original sport would be fun.

What song is playing on your headphones in the locker room right before taking the field?  "Rock and Roll" by Youngboy Never Broke Again

What is your dream vacation? I would love to go to Hawaii, or anywhere tropical.

What is the best thing about being in the American Athletic Conference? A lot of the offensive talent is very respectable, so the receivers and quarterbacks bring good competition.

What do you think about Army being in the American Athletic Conference?  I think them being in the conference adds another level of competition between us.

Favorite Coach Newberry Quote:  "Success is your very best"

How would you describe Coach Cronic's Offense:  Dynamic. The run game will challenge the defense with its ground-and-pound attack but can explode at any moment on the ground or in the air.

How would you describe Coach Volker's Defense:  Relentless. We are very attack-oriented and stay on the offensive and we run to the ball better than anyone.

One word to describe a Navy Football player:  Dawg

Who will be the surprise player on offense in 2024? Isaiah Bryant

Who will be the surprise player on defense in 2024? Job Grant

Who is the toughest player on the Navy football team? Colin Ramos

What player epitomizes Navy Football?  Daba Fofana

Who will be the Most Valuable Player on offense in 2024? Alex Tecza

Who will be the Most Valuable Player on defense in 2024? Landon Robinson

What are you most looking forward to in 2024?  Beating Army

Tell us one thing about you that most people don't know? Baseball was my first love and I played it the longest.

Tell us one thing about you that would make a good feature story?  My father also played football collegiately and professionally, so I am continuing his legacy.

If there was a Movie about your Life what would it be called and who would play you?  The movie would be called Underdog and I would be played by Marcus Scribner.
