Q-Talk about your junior season. What did you learn from it?
JH- During my Junior year of High School I learned the importance of loyalty and ambition. The loyalty of my teammates is what drove my ambition to be the best for them. I was put to the task to lead the offense. When that time came I knew I had to step up. The season prior I had the chance to play quarterback and defensive back because of the unseen events of our senior quarterback getting hurt. During my Sophomore season I had 583 passing yards and 603 rushing yards.
Q-Tell me about last season and how you did?
JH-My stats for Junior season 2020 were 1300+ rushing yards, 26 touchdowns and 1500+ all purpose yards
Q-Who is your biggest role model and guide in your life?
JH-My greatest role model is my grandmother who we call Granny. She has always pushed me to be a better person and believed in me.
Q-Biggest strengths in your game currently?
JH-My biggest strength is breaking tackles, and communication with my team. My current weakness and biggest focus right now is being impatient and committing to a hole before scanning for all my options.
Q-Any offers yet?
JH-The biggest colleges that have reached out to me so far are USF, Wake Forest, and Duke
Q-Talk about what it was like to play for Coach Southwell?
JH- Playing for my coach has been a experience I am most grateful for. We share a lot of similarities which would normally cause a clash between a player and coach but it makes me respect him more. My coach sees greatness in me and pushes me to be the best player I can be. When we perform to his high standard on the football field and in the weight room we earn his respect. He holds me to a standard I didn’t think was possible and it only gets higher causing me to work harder everyday.
Q-What what is like preparing this season with all the covid issues?
JH-When preparing for the football season 2020 we didn’t know if we’d get to play because of COVID. At first we had to wear a mask while practicing which was very challenging. Having a mouth piece, mask and helmet on in the Florida heat.
Q-Personally, what is your ultimate goal with the game of football whether it be on the field or off of it?
JH- My ultimate goal is to have college paid for from playing.
Quick Hitters:
Favorite player to watch: My favorite player to watch is Derrick Henry. Watching his energy and skills on the field are very inspiring to do better and push myself to new limits.
Playlist before a game: Before a game I really listen to what ever, from County to Rap. I just listen to feel the beat to forget about the day and focus on the game.
