What is one thing that NFL teams should know about you?

That’s I’m a down to earth guy who seeks knowledge from any and everyone because I don’t I’m too good or better than anyone to at least listen to there thoughts or point of view on any given topic

What is your biggest pet peeve? 

Someone who wants instant gratification without truly working for it.

Overcoming adversity is what defines character, what was the hardest moment in your life to overcome?

In 2021 I faced a tragic moment in my life, I was assaulted which led to me being spit on and called racial slurs. This moment in my life changed me for the better. After the video of me being spit on went viral, I received so much hate and backlash from people who looked like me, that I started to question if I made the right decision that day. I took the high road that day but it was hard for me to walk around with confidence after reading harsh comments and receiving hateful messages not only from whites but blacks as well. To be seen as a weak individual after making a decision I knew without a doubt in my mind was right almost became a disbelief for me. I thank God for surrounding me with a great family, friends, teammates, coaches, and the Northside Eagle family. Without their love and support I don’t think I could’ve overcame such a traumatizing situation.

Tell me something about your school and why it is so special to you?

It’s small which makes it easier to get to know people and connect to form social groups and communicate.

Gushers

Until the clock hits 00:00 there’s always the next play

Budda Baker 

If you could have dinner with three people dead or alive, who would it be and why?

Coach Prime, Charles Woodson, and Tom Brady I say theses guys because they have either done what I wanna do or still doing it and they’ve done at the highest of the highest level.
