Times staff writer David Murphy sat down with the senior to talk about running backs, Grandma’s ribs and Batman on the gridiron.

Times: What’s your favorite CD?

DJ: I like to mix it up. DMX. Pastor Troy.

Times: What about your favorite movie?

DJ: I have three favorites: Any Given Sunday, Ali and Gladiator.

Times: What character from Gladiator would you want to be?

DJ: Maximus. He’s the rawest one.

Times: Who’s your favorite running back?

DJ: Of all time? Barry Sanders. Present time? Clinton Portis.

Times: Why do you like Barry Sanders?

DJ: He was small. He was quick. He was untouchable.

Times: Favorite actor?

DJ: Jamie Foxx.

Times: Your nickname is Fox. How did that come about?

DJ: I was born with red hair. Ever since, people have been making rumors about me, saying I got my nickname because I am fast or quick. But it’s because I was born with red hair.

Times: Favorite food?

DJ: Ribs.

Times: Who has the best ribs in Brooksville?

DJ: Grandma.

Times: Good answer. What side dish do you like?

DJ: I like some baked beans with bacon.

Times: Favorite super hero?

DJ: Batman.

Times: If Batman played football, what position would he play?

DJ: Batman was slow. Well, he had a little speed, but not too much. He wasn’t big enough for linebacker, but he’s a power guy. I’d put him at free safety. Yeah. Batman’s a free safety.
