In high school, I was the go-to guy. I was getting the ball almost every down. Here, it's a world of difference in talent. You have to be able to play your role. You have to work harder and hope things come around.

Steve was more of an NFL-type coach and let a lot of things go. Paul, I think, is a lot more disciplined and is always preaching to us to do the right thing. I think we've become more disciplined as a team. It showed last year when we led the league with the fewest penalties. We've really buckled down. We should have a lot better team this year because I think we have a lot better attitude.

We went 3-8 my first year and 1-9 my second year. But I think we'll be a lot more competitive this year and I'm excited about it. We have a lot of new guys coming in and transfers. The one good thing was that a lot of younger guys got to play last year. We really only lost one player on offense and one on defense. Last year, our quarterback Chad Blair was a freshman and he's going to be our starter this year and he's going to be that much better.

We were looking for a prep school to do another year. My brother lived in Franklin, Mass., so he could come and see me, and this was the place where I could get playing time; they wanted me and it's where I ended up.

As a student, school has to come first. Maybe if you were a professional, and you did this for a radio station and got paid for it, you would go more in depth, look up more information, find some more articles and maybe more in-depth stats for the other team.

Usually I like to take a nap. I'm not sure (how it started). After a long day of school... Twenty minutes, that's about it. ... I listen to music to get focused and think about the meet or whatever it may be.
