What other schools offered you and what was it about Navy that made you come here?
Most of the Ivy League, Air Force, Louisiana Tech, Nicholls State, Arkansas State and Georgetown. I came to Navy because it gave me an opportunity to play big time football with guys that are like minded and coaches that actually want to develop you. Also, the success after football that Navy grads have is second to none.
 
What would you tell somebody that is considering coming to Navy to play football? It would be stupid not to come here if you have the opportunity
 
If you could play another position, what position would you play and why?  Safety. It would be awesome to come down the alley full speed in run support.

If you could choose any opponent for Navy to play that is currently not on the schedule, who would you choose and why?  At LSU. I grew up in Baton Rouge and went to high school on their campus. Most of my hometown friends go there and a lot of my family is there. It would also be an electric environment.
 
Favorite class at the Naval Academy and why?  Data Wrangling and Visualization. It taught me how to do some pretty cool things using python that I had no clue existed before coming to the Academy.
 
Favorite teacher at the Naval Academy? Cmdr. Petri
 
Favorite form of social media and why?  Instagram Reels. There are some wildly entertaining videos on there.
 
Favorite person to follow on social media and why?   Low Country D. The way he articulates himself is pure poetry.
 
If you could have dinner with any 4 people that are currently at the Naval Academy who would you choose and why?  Sean Crowley, the Supt., Coach Kiritsy and Lt. Cmdr. Conley. There would be so many interesting sea stories, wisdom and jokes told.
