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

My motor and my ability to learn and adapt.

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

I have played Football since 3^rd grade. Although, I truly became interested in football when I was in 6^th grade.

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

I am very coachable.

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

In everything you do, do it for the glory and honor of Jesus Christ.

Who was your childhood hero?

Grandpa Billy

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

At Murray State, I would definitely have to say Jam. He is young but very mature. You can tell that he is intentional in what he does and cares deeply about the success of the team.

What is your biggest pet peeve?

When people forgot to put the bread twisty back on the bread bag.

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

When my Grandpa Billy passed away. It was my freshman year of college, I was overwhelmed with school, football, and being away from home. It took me a while to come to terms with his passing.

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

Respectfully, I will focus on Hillsdale College because that is where I did the majority of my schooling. Hillsdale forced me to look at myself in the mirror and ask myself “who am I going to be”? Hillsdale College is a top-tier academic institution with a very rich tradition of success both on and off the field. So the pressure to be great was a lot to take in at first.

Takis

What is the best part of football?

The platform is available to honor and glorify God as well as the never-ending pursuit of being the best football player that you can be.

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