SENIOR PROFILE
MICHAEL RALLO
#59, Captain, OL, LB
1. When did you start playing football?
I started playing Football in the sixth grade after my mom of all people actually convinced me to play. I was convinced I was an amazing soccer player.
2. What is your time in the 40 yd. dash and what’s your best bench weight?
I haven’t run the 40 in a few years so I honestly couldn’t tell you, but my best bench press is around 235.
3. What is your favorite college football team and college football player?
My favorite college football team used to be Maryland, but they’ve been so terrible recently that I have just started watching the best matchups.
4. What is your favorite moment during any Landon sports event in which you played?
The best game I’ve ever been a part of by far was the Bullis Football game last year. No one believed we could win except for the guys on our team and the amazing fans who were in the cheering section. It’s probably the most emotional game I’ve ever played in as well.
5. What is your favorite course at Landon?
I don’t know if it’s necessarily my favorite course at Landon, but the most fun I’ve ever had in a course was in ceramics. I just wish I was a better artist.
6. What is your favorite non-sports related activity (community work, art/music, paper, debate, poem, extracurricular activity, etc.)?
I love listening to music. Whenever I get too stressed out I just put my headphones on and immediately I feel better.
7. What is your nickname and how did you get it?
I have had a couple different nicknames over the years, but the most recent one probably came last year during football. One day during a practice the line was standing around getting water and people started debating the best way to pronounce my last name. Out of nowhere Will Murty just decided that my name was too hard to pronounce so people should just call me Racklins. I don’t know why, but it kind of stuck with the guys on the team.
8. Who are you–
a.Describe yourself in 3 words?
Honest, Hardworking, Loyal
b. How would your parents describe you in 3 words?
They’d probably describe me in a similar way
9. What’s on your iPod?
My IPod is really eclectic. I listen to rap, rock, reggae, pop, country, and a lot more. But I would say I listen to modern and classic rock the most. Everything from Bob Marley to Adele to Pearl Jam
10. Tell us one thing (interesting) that your teammates do not know about you.
Most people don’t know that I like writing lyrics for music and poetry. Sometimes an idea will just come to me and I’ll start writing a poem or song.
11. What will you be doing in 5 years?
In five years I just hope I’m doing something I like. Other than that I really don’t know.
