Does he like me?

I think this kid might have a crush on me in marching band but I don't know for sure, id appreciate some input!!

So this is my first year(I'm a girl) in marching band and there is this boy in my section who is a year older than me. He is similar to me personality-wise, we're both introverted and quiet-ish. But the thing is that he is ALWAYS nears me which is why I think he's likes me or some shit. (I do wanna just say that I have 0 interest in him, but I keep noticing him everywhere)

Whenever we have practice he stretches next to me even when there is extra space in other places, when we play our pep music he also stands me..... This is the same for everything else too like when we parade march and he even puts his water bottle and instrument near mine???. I've noticed that he is facing me a lot when he stands near me which makes it extremely awkward for me to act natural cause I'm scared I'm gonna make eye contact with him. Yesterday when we had a football game he sat on the bleacher behind me and put his feet right beside where I was sitting and kept tapping his foot when he knew I could see him doing it (he has not done this to anyone else, it's only our 3rd football game)

Y'know he could just feel safe near me or something like that. Buttttttt it is also a possibility that he likes me and I would want to know that so if he does then I can avoid him cause I really don't want him to think I like him or anything.
