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

• I can make the throws and I can make the reads. But my top qualities lie within my intangibles. The poise that I have through adversity with faith. The fluidity I have within reading and reacting to scenarios within a game. The respect I earn from the team through my servant leadership. The way that I bring the best out of everyone around me through my tenacity. My care to leave my heart there for my team through the love I have for the game, my teammates, and for God. 

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

• I started playing when I was 8 years old. But I really fell in love with the sport and everything that came with it once I got to high school and spent hours upon hours with the team. I loved the work and the brotherhood that came with it.

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

• I feel that it is rare to find a player that embodies everything that is needed from a quarterback. It is the most important position in all of sports for a reason. I feel that I check all the boxes and some. 

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

• A cause that has been on my mind lately is the Tim Tebow Foundation that is driven through faith, hope, and a love of people and God. This foundation has been large in many different areas of life such as a fight on human trafficking, adoption aid, orphan care, physical/mental/spiritual care, etc. 

What is the best advice you have ever received? 

• The best leaders just need to do one thing. Care.

Who was your childhood hero? 

• My dad was always the person I looked to when it came to how I should act in this life. He has always been a work horse and always stuck true to care for those around him. He also showed me the utmost support through his sacrifice for me to continue striving for my dreams. 
• Kurt Warner. When I was a kid he played for my hometown team (Cardinals) growing up but the more I learned about his path, the more respect that I gained for him. I aspired to learn from his life and fight head on through adversity and continue driven by faith. 

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

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

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

• Slippery Rock immediately welcomed me into their family. A real football family where you could lean on your brother and your brother could lean on you.  A culture built on a Relentless approach that required discipline, conviction, _____ and to be unbreakable. There were a lot of vulnerable moments with this team that built countless lifelong bonds. It was home. 

What is your favorite snack food? 

• Anything with peanut butter

What is the best part of football?
