Coaches Comments: Max contributed as a sophomore and was a two-way starter as a junior. He has shown over the years that he has incredible versatility up front, having played multiple positions on the offensive line and defensive line. An incredible athlete for a young man his size, which shows on the basketball court or in the circle throwing in the spring. With his smarts and athletic ability, we have decided to move Max to guard to take advantage of his athletic ability in space. Last season, we played Max primarily at DE, where he did an outstanding job earning all-league honors. Much like we have moved him on offense, we might move him around a bit more on defense this season to take advantage of his ability to get up and down the line chasing things down. Max works in the weight room, and works on the field, but what takes Max to the next level is the knowledge of the game. Understanding his assignment along with everybody else’s.
