VYPE: How long have you been playing football and how did you get your start?
Chavarria: I started football in 3rd grade and fell in love with it. I got started because I wanted to follow my dads footsteps and be just like him.
VYPE: Who has been your biggest influence in your sporting life? And Why?
Chavarria: My biggest influence have been my family, my family has supported me and cheered me on through this long journey I've had so far and I couldn't be happier to have them by my side.
VYPE: Go-to pregame meal? Routine?
Chavarria: Usually for pregame meals I just eat whatever the team has for us it's almost always some type of pasta. My routine for home game is just stay to myself most of the day and focus on the game. When we are playing away I always walk one lap around the field but I never step foot on the field because I want my first step to be when it is game time.
VYPE: Favorite subject in school?
Chavarria: My favorite subject would definitely be math it has always been my strongest subject my whole life.
VYPE: What's your biggest strength? Or What do You Bring to Your Team?
Chavarria: My biggest strength would be my attitude and hype. I am always that person that you will hear across the weight room or across the field. There is never a moment where I am or want to be quiet.
VYPE: Off the field, what is your favorite thing to do?
Chavarria: Off the field I love to hangout with friends and relax. One of my favorite things to do is bowl if I could bowl with all the free time I had I would.
VYPE: What has been your greatest HS memory so far?
Chavarria: My best memory will always be winning SPC, there is no other feelings like looking at the clock hit zero and you see that you have won your championship. Just being there with my brothers and family is something I won't ever forget especially the big ole ring we get lol.
