Alex Vassallo, Daniel Boone
Senior, Wide Receiver and Cornerback
Q. What’s the one super-power you wish you possessed?
I would want the ability to fly so that I could get around faster.
Q. Knowing what you know now, what advice would you give to freshmen at Daniel Boone?
I would tell them to be themselves and come out and participate in extra-curricular activities.
Q. Who’s the most under-rated player on your team?
(Senior RB/LB) JT Hogan. Most people underestimate his vision and speed.
Q. What’s on your Spotify play list Friday’s before a big game?
I would probably be listening to some Lil Baby.
Q. If you could use a “lifeline” during a critical moment of a close game, who would you call for help or advice?
I would call (former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback) Nick Foles, because the guy just knows how to win.
Q. It’s in-vogue at the college level to design flashy uniforms. What would do to your team’s uniforms given the chance to re-design them?
I would get a black uniform.
Q. If you had a chance to play in the NFL, which coach – current or past – would you most want to play for?
I would want to play for (Los Angeles Rams head coach) Sean McVay, because of the electric offense he has.
Q. Which of your teammates makes you laugh the most at practice?
(Senior WR/DB) Jaxson Mace. He’s always laughing, even at his terrible jokes.
Q. What’s the one thing Coach Flowers has said that you think you’ll remember 20 years from now?
When I was a freshman Coach Flowers used to say: “Do you want to be good, or great?”
Q. What’s your favorite football memory?
When we won on the “Philly Special” (43-42 last year against Twin Valley). I was on the side where Carter (Speyerer) ended up catching (the deciding two-point conversion), and all I can remember is seeing the ball in the air right before he catches it.
