I was able to see this beast twice during the New York spring season and he was the best back I got to see play in New York and to go one more step he was the best back I got to see in the four states I took in spring games.

   I would be stunned if some D-1 coach does not discover him in 2021 and then gets him to commit.  

1-What was the most memorable part of playing the spring season?

The seniors, were the most memorable parts of my high school career up to this point and this spring because they brought so much energy and loved football.

In the carrier Dome up in Syracuse when I had the overtime game-winning touchdown against Baldwinsville my sophomore year on varsity.

6- I took in spring games in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and of course New York. You were the best back I go to see. How much of your success is due to the play of your linemen?

If any credit goes to them it should be all of it, those guys put in a crazy amount of work on and off the field and I’m thankful for them and Coach Langworthy who gets them ready each week.

Every game daydreams and nightmares by meek mill gets played in the locker room and everyone including myself gets pretty turned up off it.
