Q: What is the best part about being back on the gridiron with everything going on right now?

A: I am just glad to be back out there with the team and getting the chance to work for this season.

Q: What are your personal and team goals for the season?

Q: How do you prep for the Friday night lights, what are your pregame rituals?

A: Listening to my music and just imagining the game in my head play by play. Pre-game is not complete without tacos from Coach Melton.

#96 Dylan Kemp, DL 6’0″, 220Ibs.

Dylan Kemp is ready to dominate once again and wreak havoc on opposing quarterbacks. See what he has to say about this upcoming season.

Q: What is the best part about being back on the gridiron with everything going on right now?

A: The best part would be the inspiration it’s providing. Through playing football it shows that there is hope that everything could come back to normal one day. It gives us as players a feeling that couldn’t be replicated and proves to the public that no matter what happens, our community will never give up and be headstrong through any challenge we may face.

Q: What are your personal and team goals for the season?

A: My personal goal for the season is just to go above my expectations. To get better at the craft I’ve made so far and to top everything I’ve done already. My goal as a team is to get the younger kids the mentality the seniors now have and make sure they’re ready to carry on the legacy.

Q: How do you prep for the Friday night lights, what are your pregame rituals?

A: My pregame ritual starts with constant prayer. When I get to the stadium I continuously have a conversation with God but my true ritual starts when I get to walk the field, before I step on I pray three our fathers as well as ask God for strength, wisdom, love, and courage, I then walk to the other end of the field and before walking off I repeat everything I prayed before.
