Q&A with Mayo athlete Malik Franklin
Ryan Burns
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">"I'd say my strengths as a player would probably being a triple threat on offense, as far as I can run the ball very well, I run great routes as a wide receiver, and I'm also a great lead blocker for the running back when I'm playing fullback," Rochester Mayo athlete <strong>Malik Franklin</strong> said to Northstar Football. "Last year, our season stared off good and then we got to a slump where injuries took us out of games, including myself as I separated my shoulder the fifth game of the season."</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Franklin isn't just limited to the offensive side of the ball for Mayo.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">"I'm very good with locating the ball on defense and reacting quickly," Franklin explained. "I'm working on improving on this this off-season as I'm working out twice a day most days and just studying from last year. As a team we have all got better as working out together and getting close to each other which has not happened in the past years."</span></span></p>
