Jacob Serena is a wide receiver on Hewitt-Trussville High School's football team.
Q: What’s your favorite thing about football?
A: I would say that my favorite thing about football is just how it allows you to be competitive. Uh, just growing up being a competitive kid, football allows me to focus my competitiveness into a certain place and just getting out there on that field, being competitive, competing with my brothers and then competing with the teams that we're playing with is always fun for me.
Q: What’s your favorite pregame meal?
A: My favorite pregame meal would probably be,like, fruit and, I don't know, like, a Gatorade or something cause I don't eat too much before games just so it doesn't sit on my stomach, bu tan ideal would probably be fruit and some sort of electrolytes or something like that before the game. So.
Q: What’s the most interesting thing about you outside of football?
A: I would say that the most interesting thing about me, outside of football, is that I love to build Lego sets. Um, my mom, a couple of summers ago, separated all of our old Lego sets that we had as little kids into different baggies with the directions and all the Legos in there. And I grabbed a bag and built one of the Lego sets and I've built a couple more since then and there's, there's a couple sitting on my dresser now. So.
Q: Who is your favorite sports team and why?
A: So, my favorite sports team is Penn State. I grew up there. I grew up in Pennsylvania and we're only, like, 45 minutes away from campus. But moving down here, I get a bunch of hate for liking Penn State and just that the north football is easier and the Big Ten's easier than the SEC. And I get a bunch of hate for it, but I'm, I'm Penn State 'till I die. So.
Q: What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?
A: The best advice that I've ever received is definitely from my dad. He always tells me humble confidence in anything thatI'm doing. So whether it's taking a test in school or getting out there on that field on Friday night, he always tells me humble confidence. So ge tout there with humility, but be confident in yourself that you, you can do the right thing, but you're not being boastful or bragging about it. So.
