Harmonica, Hogwarts and Bob Dylan with Sam King, the two-time Harvard captain and preseason All-American.

How does it feel to be one of the only two-time Harvard captains ever?

Being selected by your peers, your teammates, your best friends is a huge honor and it means a ton to me. It comes with the responsibility of guys looking to you to help lead them to win.

Do you have any hidden talents?

I play guitar and harmonica. I was in a band (called “Steep Grade”) freshman and sophomore year of college.

If you were a wrestler, what would your entrance song be?

Probably “9-5” by The Stews.

What snacks do you get at a movie theater?

I’ll get popcorn and the Crunch chocolate. I’ll put the Crunch into the popcorn.

What was your dream job as a little kid?

My dream job was to be an NFL head coach. I loved sports and wasn’t athletic enough to be a football player.

If you could be one fictional character, who would you be?

Harry Potter. Hogwarts is a cool spot and he’s always up to some sort of adventure.

What would be the title of your autobiography?

I just watched the Bob Dylan movie, so I feel like a good title could be “Blowin’ In The Wind.”

What’s your strangest superstition?

I’m not too superstitious. I’ve got some pregame routines, some shooting routines, wall ball.

If you were a dog, what breed would you be and why?

I would be a Chesapeake Bay Retriever because they’re a hunting dog and I like to hunt. It’d be fun chasing ducks and birds.
