What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2024 NFL Draft?
My Football IQ is unmatched. It’s tough to get a player to know what there assignment is during a given play, but I make it my job to know all 11 players jobs. I won’t be out-worked. I’m an overall student of the game.
At what age were you first interested in the sport of football?
I started playing football competitively at the age of 4. My brothers played a big role in that.
What is one thing that NFL teams should know about you?
I’m a leader in everything I do. I am never too big to learn something new. And I can contribute wherever possible.
If you could donate to one cause in the world, what would it be?
ALS foundation. My dad has been battling ALS for the past 3 years. Never seen a disease like that in person before. I know the effect that has on me and wouldn’t wish that on nobody else.
What is the best advice you have ever received?
“The only person that can defeat you, is you!”
Who was your childhood hero?
My pops, hands down. The things he has done not only for my family but others as well is amazing. I want to be able to change lives the same way he had done.
Who is the most underrated teammate in your locker room at your school?
Transferring to Morgan State I will be surrounded by a great group of guys. I’m excited for our secondary as a whole. Looking forward to being one of the best in college football.
What is your biggest pet peeve?
Someone saying they going do something and they don’t do it.
Overcoming adversity is what defines character, what was the hardest moment in your life to overcome?
Around the same time my pops was diagnosed not too long after, I became a father. Being a father, student-athlete, and primary caregiver for my pops was not easy at all. But GOD gives his battles to his toughest soldiers. Everything I went through mentally, physically, and emotionally made me stronger for today.
Tell me something about your school and why it is so special to you?
Morgan State is a gem. Campus is beautiful, great people permeate throughout the school. And with me being from Baltimore and now coming home and playing in front of my hometown. This is a dream come true.
What is your favorite snack food?
I love PB&Js!
What is the best part of football?
Best part of football is the lessons you learn through the game. Life is bigger than football but you can learn the game of life through football.
If you could sell yourself in one sentence what would you say?
Last name ain’t Savage for no reason, I’m going get what I deserve or I’m going die trying!
If you could compare your play to one player in the NFL who would it be?
I watch Jaire Alexander tape almost everyday. We have very similar build. I love the Packers defense, they definitely let him play to his strengths. His ball skills and IQ are very high.
If you could have dinner with three people dead or alive, who would it be and why?
- Kobe Bryant – want to hear him speak on his preparations going to games/practices
- Floyd Mayweather – want to hear him speak on how he remained consistent while being type dog in the sport
- My mom – she always knew her baby boy was great. So she defiantly deserve to see me at the table with the greats
