We\u2019ve been working hard, staying focused, and it\u2019s really paying off on the field.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you been pleased with how you\u2019ve played this season?<br>\u201cYes, I feel I\u2019ve been playing really well this season. I focus on doing my job every week, keeping a positive attitude, and being a leader to my teammates both in practice and during games.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you feel your team has played?<br>\u201cOur team has been playing great. Everything is coming together, and I truly believe we\u2019re going to be one of the teams to watch in the playoffs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What do you feel your team can improve on?<br>\u201cWe just need to stay consistent and continue playing our game every week. When we stay locked in, we\u2019re tough to beat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What are the keys for your team being successful going forward?<br>\u201cOur defense is one of the best in North Carolina, so we know we have to capitalize every time they give us a stop. If we execute and finish drives, we\u2019ll keep winning games.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you want to play sports in college? If so, which one?<br>\u201cAbsolutely\u2014I want to play Division I football.

I\u2019m proud to say that I\u2019ve officially committed to play Division I football at Delaware State University. I\u2019ll be enrolling in January 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you have a favorite college growing up?<br>\u201cGrowing up, my favorite school was Clemson. As I got older and started learning more about different programs, I realized it\u2019s not just about the name on the jersey\u2014it\u2019s about finding the right fit and opportunity. My main goal has always been to play football at the next level, no matter the school.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/nc-prep-varsity\/weekly-interviews-with-athletes\/\">Athlete Q&amp;As<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/nc-prep-varsity\/nominate-an-athlete-for-a-qa\/\">Q&amp;A Nomination<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find out what this elite athlete has to say now from NC Prep Varsity!<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/nc-prep-varsity\/football-coverage-from-ncprepvarsity\/\">Football Articles<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/nc-prep-varsity\/category\/football\/\">Latest News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4204,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[76,90,91,87,86,89],"class_list":["post-3909","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-high-school-football","tag-high-school-preview","tag-high-school-sports","tag-nc-prep-varsity","tag-north-carolina-football","tag-north-carolina-preps"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/nc-prep-varsity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3909","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/nc-prep-varsity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/nc-prep-varsity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/nc-prep-varsity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/nc-prep-varsity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3909"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/nc-prep-varsity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3909\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4205,"href":"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/nc-prep-varsity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3909\/revisions\/4205"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/nc-prep-varsity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4204"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/nc-prep-varsity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3909"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/nc-prep-varsity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3909"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prepvarsity.com\/nc-prep-varsity\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3909"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
