The Jersey senior also has a love of America's National Pastime - baseball.
"I also enjoy playing baseball," he said.
The Jersey athlete added that "High school sports have helped me focus on my body more and really improve my work ethic. They have made me tougher, stronger, and more confident, which will help me in the future."
Sam is unsure which college he will attend next year or whether or not he will play a sport. He is a baseball pitcher/first baseman for the Panthers in the spring. The Jersey senior is also a member of the National Honor Society.
