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

I’m very fast, have good hands, and I run smooth routes, I feel like I have the whole package. Of course there are always things to work on though.

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

I started playing football at 6.

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

They should know that nothing in my football career was handed to me so I know what it’s like to work for what I want.

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

I would donate to less fortunate kids in underprivileged communities.

What is the best advice you have ever received?

Believe in yourself.

Who was your childhood hero?

My childhood hero was my dad, or spider man.

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

The most underrated teammate in my locker room is my friend Cash Goodhart, he never fails to put me in a good mood, especially when I need it the most.

What is your biggest pet peeve?

My biggest pet peeve is someone who can’t see both sides of the story.

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

I just recently had surgery on my foot which didn’t allow me to compete at the NCAA outdoor championships for track. I was on pace to be Top 5 in the nation. This also stunted my training for football and didn’t allow me to be weight bearing for 6-8 weeks. 

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

My school has forced me to become a stronger and better man. It is very rigorous with its demands and you either get chewed up or you come out stronger.

What is your favorite snack food?

My favorite snack food is probably sour patch kids or white cheddar Cheez-its.

What is the best part of football?

The best part of football is seeing what you’ve worked for become reality.

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

Not only do I constantly work to better myself physically and mentally, I have been blessed to be one of the best athletes in the NCAA being all ivy in football and top 4 in the NCAA for the heptathlon indoors.

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

I don’t like doing comparisons but I try to model my game after Julio Jones.

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

I would have dinner with Jesus, just to learn from him. I would have dinner with Megatron, just to learn from him because he is the best receiver of all time. Lastly I would have dinner with Kevin Hart because he’s funny and seems like a great guy.
