What does it mean to be named to the Shrine Bowl Run team and helping the hospital?
It means a lot, I am very thankful for the opportunity and enjoy help giving back to the community.
What did you hear about the Shrine Bowl Run before this year?
I've heard about it through teammates who have previously participated in the run and have heard great things about the experience.
What do you hope to experience during the event?
I hope to have fun while participating while helping the hospital.
How are you preparing to run with a football?
I have recently been letting my legs heal so I haven't began practicing yet. I will probably just get use to the feel of holding a football to prepare.

Going into the season I wanted to achieve our team goals so I decided I would do whatever it would do to achieve them.
If there is one thing in the world you could do, what would it be and why?
