My Story
Playing football is my life! Nothing has been a greater experience and personal accomplishment than winning the 3A WPIAL Championship and PIAA 3A State Championship as the starting Left Offensive Tackle for the Belle Vernon Area Leopards this 2022 season. I’m versatile! While I am better equipped to play Center/Guard, I didn’t complain when the coach needed me at left tackle, arguably the toughest position to play, protecting the blind side of the QB.
I have been playing football since the age of 6, always playing offensive line. My father, who was a 4-year letterman and starter (OG) at Marshall University has instilled in me the mindset and skills to being a great offensive lineman. I take pride in my technique, focusing on balance, leverage, and explosion off the ball. I leverage the weakness and tendencies of my opponents; with the focus to win every play.
At 6’1, 285 lbs. my goal is to maximize my time in the weight room and improve my agility moving into the 2023 season, while continuing to build upon my 3.76 GPA with Honors Courses. While my Junior year was a successful one, I’m looking to build on the accomplishments in defending our WPIAL Championship and PIAA State Championship. My aspiration is to play on a competitive and prestigious collegiate team, and achieve my Academic and Athletic dreams.
