What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2023 NFL Draft?

My speed is my main sauce along with my finesse. My strength and motor would be my secondary. 

At what age were you first interested in the sport of football?

I started playing ball when I was five years old. I really didn’t know a thing about it. My mother told me I had football practice and tossed me my stuff so i went.

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

I’m the guy that’s going to bring energy and grit every day. I love being a student of the game along with leading my teammates and myself in the right direction. I’m always down to talk ball or just study the game.

If you could donate to one cause in the world, what would it be?

I would donate to the children’s hospital. When my kids were born, seeing those innocent babies laying there shook my soul honestly so I would definitely give to that cause with no hesitation.

What is the best advice you have ever received?

The best advice I’ve ever received was “Take patience with you. Patience is the key to life.”

Who was your childhood hero?

My mother! She’s my rock. I have always admired the way she handled life and took care of me and my two brothers by herself.

Who is the most underrated teammate in your locker room at your school?

I would have to say the backup QB Jake Corkren. He is a younger guy but has the arm power of Mahomes and with good accuracy, I feel that he needs a chance to show it.

What is your biggest pet peeve?

I would have to say biting into some food that is not hot and when I say hot I mean I need to see steam lol.

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

The hardest period in my life was balancing being a full time student, athlete, and father.

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

Being in Livingston Alabama was bittersweet. It’s in the middle of nowhere but full of good people. Livingston will forever hold a place in my body that’s where I became who I am today.

What is your favorite snack food?

Candy If you see me I am going to have some kind of candy.

What is the best part of football?

The bonds you build along the way and of course winning and working with my teammates.

If you could sell yourself in one sentence what would you say?

I work hard and when things get hard I work harder with paying attention to detail through it all.

If you could compare your play to one player in the NFL who would it be?

Von Miller, He is not as big as the other ends out there but effective.

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

It would have to be my aunt Nikki and Ant. Ant was a close friend more like a brother that I lost to gun violence. I just would like to have one last time to talk to them with me knowing it’s my last time.
