What is the fondest memory from your playing career at DeSales?
We were playing Toledo St. Johns in game #2 of the season in 2006. DeSales has traditionally been an option first style team, but we decided to start throwing the ball when I took over the quarterback position. We shocked St. Johns, who was ranked top 5 in the state D1 at the time. 34-10 win for the Stallions!
Second, winning 2nd Team All-State honors for QB
What made playing for DeSales so special?
The relationships I developed with coaches, teammates, and parents.
What was it like playing for Coach Jacoby?
Coach Jacoby was a major influence, not only in my football career at DeSales, but really prepared me for life after. I'm beyond blessed I had the chance to play under him, and its awesome to see he is back home with the Stallions!
What was your best game?
When we played Watterson in 2006 at Hagley Field - The stadium was at max capacity. Passed for close to 300 yards with 3 TD passes
Do you still follow DeSales, if yes, how closely?
I track the Stallions through social media and try to make it to at least one game a year.
