Q: What is your major?
A:
Business/Economics and Political Science.

Q: What plans do you have after graduation?
A:
Keep playing football for as long as I can!

Q: Why did you choose to attend Wheaton and play football?
A:
  Wheaton provides a great academic and spiritual community for young Christians to grow – and that is something I wanted from my college. Wheaton football provides potential student-athletes an opportunity to join the greatest brotherhood in the entire world. That was very evident on my visit, and was something I had to be a part of.

Q: What do you enjoy most about Wheaton?
A:
The bros [on the team], hands down.

A:
Spanking Augustana [College] in our Homecoming game last year, and running around playing football with my best friends.

Q: After having a successful year in 2011 and now being named preseason All-American, what expectations or goals do you have for yourself in your final season?
A:
CCIW Champions and bring the bell back.

Q: What will it take for the football team to get back into the NCAA playoffs this year?
A:
We simply need to play Wheaton football and the rest will take care of itself.
