• What are your goals for the season? "Some of the goals for the season, just like any other sport I have played, is to just get better every single week that we have in our season.  Just that after every game we left it all out on the field as a team and that we got better."

• Do you have any pregame rituals? "I mean before the game I try to keep to myself.  I don't talk to a lot of people, and I kinda get into my zone and try and focus on what I have to do.  I just kinda go through what I am expected to do in the game."

• What made you choose Piedmont? "I originally choose Piedmont honestly just because of the environment and I like the area that I was going to. Especially since it was a big change for me going from Jacksonville all the way up to Demorest, Georgia, but I really learned to like it. I think I made a really good choice."
