Brandon Shane, Boyertown
Senior, Wide Receiver and Free Safety
Q: If you could be recruited by any colleges in the country, which would be at the top of your list?
It would probably be for baseball, and in the SEC.
No. 1 would be Arkansas, because of them consistently being one of the top programs in the country.
No. 2 would be Vanderbilt, because of the culture they have and the amount of pro players (they’ve produced).
No. 3 would be Penn State, just because it’s in-state and it’s my favorite school to watch.
Q: Who’s the best player you have ever faced in a game?
Probably Isiah Taylor from Pottsgrove a couple years ago (a 41-21 loss in 2019); he was the hardest guy to try to bring down. (He scored five touchdowns against the Bears.)
Q: Who’s your favorite NFL player?
Saquon Barkley. Love how hard he works and how humble he is; not many athletes are like that.
Q: If they made a movie about Boyertown football, which actor would play the part of head coach T.J. Miller?
I’m not sure but he would have to be a very high-energy guy with lots of dad jokes.
Q: What concert tickets would you like to get your hands on?
Kenny Chesney or Jason Aldean.
Q: Which drill do you hate most at practice every day?
The most dreaded drill at practice is “DB individual;” the constant back-peddling gets tiring.
Q: What’s your all-time favorite football movie?
“Remember the Titans.”
I liked watching a team come together and bond with one another and really show the brotherhood that football creates between teammates.
Q: What’s the one TV show that you watch regularly that might surprise people?
“All-American.”
It’s the best football show/movie on Netflix. I like how it portrays life outside of football and how difficult it can be to have a balance in both.
Q: Who’s the high school player you most looked up to when you were a kid?
Jerry Kapp. He made so many great plays (for Boyertown) and was an all around leader.
Q: What’s your favorite football memory?
Sophomore year, winning my first high school game (35-27 at Upper Perkiomen).
It just felt so much different than winning at any other level.
