Have you always wanted to attend Penn State University? Did you want to wrestle for the Lions? If so, since when? If not, what influenced your decision?

“I knew I wanted to attend Penn State, but I did not really think about the wrestling due to the fact I was going to go wherever I felt I could reach my wrestling potential.”

How many years have you wrestled? Why did you start wrestling; who got you interested in it?

“I have been wrestling for 10 years now. I started wrestling because I was not good at basketball. My dad was a coach for the wrestling team, and [my] Grammy and I would go to the matches. That is when the sport first caught my eye.”

How did you feel when the PSU coach contacted you? Were you 100% with your decision?

“I was excited, but college sports is a business so I had to act that way. I was 100% sure after my college visit to PSU.”

What is your overall high school wrestling record? What has PAHS wrestling taught you?

“My current overall record is 105-21. PAHS wrestling has taught me disclipine, and the simple things like getting the right amount of sleep, and eating right makes all the difference in each match.”

Is there anyone you would like to thank for your success on and off the mat?

“I would thank my family, coaches and friends for always being by my side through the ups and downs.”
