VYPE: You can pick any place for a summer vacation, where do you go and who do you take with you?
TK: If I could pick anywhere to go for vacation in summer I would go to Greece, I’ve never been to Europe and all the cool sites and history in Greece would be very fun to see. I would take Heston and Holden Thompson, and Trey Tuck.
VYPE: What is your all-time favorite meal?

VYPE: What is your favorite part about being on a team?

VYPE: Why are you passionate about your sport?

VYPE: Which professional athlete do you look up to and why?
TK: I look up to and model my game off of George Pickens. He is a very physical, big, and tough receiver. He is very physical off the line with corners and he blocks them to the ground which is something I try to do every play.
VYPE: What has been your favorite memory of playing?
TK: My favorite memory from playing sports was winning the football state championship last year. And celebrating with the guys after.
