Zayveon Springfield is a junior and plays linebacker and running back for the Strawberry Crest Chargers. 

How long have you been playing football?

Since I was 5.

What’s your favorite thing about playing for Strawberry Crest?

I love the opportunities they give me.

Which game left on the regular 

season schedule are you most looking forward to and why?

PC, because it’s our rivalry game.

What’s your favorite highlight from this season?

Probably my strip fumble in the Brandon game.

Is this the best Strawberry Crest football team that you’ve been a part of?

Yes, so far.

If a kid wanted to play your position, what tips would you give them to get better?

I would say just don’t be scared and play like it’s your last play.

Is there a sport you haven’t played that you would like to try?

Maybe baseball.

Is there an NFL player that you compare your game too? If so, who and why?

Probably Fred Warner due to his coverage and his run stopping.

If you’re not playing football, what are you doing in your free time?

I’m probably resting or on the game.

What are your favorite songs to get you hyped for game day?
