Q: What has been the greatest highlight of your sports career?
A: My senior year in high school, I instigated a bench-clearing brawl in baseball. They tried to intentionally hit me but instead the ball went behind me.
Q: What was your “welcome to college” moment?
A: Seeing the sun set and rise from the same room in Frist during reading period.
Q: Who is your quirkiest teammate?
A: [Sophomore tight end] Stuart Ahlum, because he literally bought tree-climbing pants, and has the ability to take 20 minutes to answer a basic question.
Q: What was your most embarrassing moment at Princeton?
A: I was at Tiger Inn and a girl mistook me for someone else, and open-hand slapped me as hard as she could. Then her boyfriend tried to fight me.
Q: What is the best part about being an athlete on campus?
A: I can dress like a bum and get away with it all the time. Also, the preferential treatment and easy A’s we get from professors.
Q: What is the worst part about being an athlete on campus?
A: Being judged by all the geniuses in class just because I am an athlete.
Q: What is your least favorite thing about football?
A: Definitely having to come back from break early. We have to come back like Jan. 2.
Q: If you were your coach for a day, what would you do?
A: I would give players the day off, and then take the team to Science Spectrum (a hands-on science museum). Or form a traveling band in the countryside.
Q: Does the team have any odd rituals?
A: Voluntarily getting up at 5:30 in the off-season to go run for two hours in Jadwin.
Q: What’s your favorite thing to do when you’re not practicing?
A: Stompin’ out children on NCAA 2011.
Q: What music inspires you?
