LPI: What schools have shown serious interest in you or may be close to offering?
AF: Iowa is the school that has truly shown a lot of interest in me. They have come to one of my workouts and I attended one of their camps. They also continuously send me letters in the mail inviting me to games and camps.
LPI: Do you have any visits set?
AF: No I do not have any visits set up yet, however, I plan on trying to visit a few colleges in the near future.
LPI: What should college coaches that recruit you know about you whether it be on or off the field?
AF: On the field I am very hardworking, passionate, and I always push my teammates to do their very best. Off the field I am a very helpful and caring person. One characteristic that I show on and off the field is leadership. I always strive to be the role model for other people around me.
LPI: What are you looking for in a program to continue your football career at? Will distance from home play a factor in your choice?
AF: I am looking for a program that has a very good education system, as well as a program that will help me develop into a stronger individual. Distance from home is not a big factor for me, however, I would like to play at a school within the midwest area.
LPI: Do you play any other sports during the offseason?
AF: No, during the offseason I am in a weight lifting program at school to enhance my skills and sharpen my abilities on the field to allow me to play at the next level.
LPI: Who are some of your teammates or training partners that you believe can play at the next level, but have gone overlooked by college coaches?
AF: The one teammate that comes to my mind is Jack Belskis. He is a middle linebacker on our team, and he is outstanding. I strongly believe he has what it takes to play at the next level. He is so good at stopping the run game and can move so well downhill and fill gaps very quickly.
