What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2024 NFL Draft? 

My size and also being able to be agile at this size as well you don’t see it that much. 

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

I played football as a kid in peewee football but I didn’t really start liking football until I was like 17.

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

They should know that I’m gonna be the hardest working player on the field at all times and that no matter what level it is I can produce at a high rate, each year I have gotten better and better.

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

I would donate to the cerebral palsy foundation growing up I had two friends that passed away from it, and if I could have an impact on somebody else that suffers from it then that’s what it would be.

What is the best advice you have ever received? 

The advice I ever received was from my college receiver coach he told me that no matter what level your at it’s a business you have to put your feelings to the side and just go out there and play, because if you don’t produce the next man will.

Who was your childhood hero? 

My childhood hero was my momma she was a single parent and did everything in her power to make sure I was always involved in sports and stayed on the right track.

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

The most underrated teammate would be at my last school and his name was Anthony Sao, he brought energy each and every single day whether it was lining up to guard me or to get the team ready to practice.

What is your biggest pet peeve? 

My biggest pet peeve is when athletes feel like they deserve something without putting all of the extra hours and effort in to get it.

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

The hardest moment in my life to overcome was losing my sister that hurt me a lot, but it gave me motivation to play 100% at all times because you never know when it could be your last time out there. 

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

Arkansas Tech is a special place to me, because of the coaches all of them have made me felt at home and have had welcoming arms but when it’s time to go they mean business.

What is your favorite snack food? 

It’s got to be hot fries can’t go wrong.

What is the best part of football? 

The best part about football is understanding that not everybody can do it so if you are blessed with talent then you get to go out there and show it 

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

I would say that I am going to be the hardest working in the room and have the utmost attention to detail.

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

I think I play a lot like Davante Adams he isn’t the fastest receiver but he’s big and knows how to get open and I feel like I try to mimic my game after that.

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

Jay-Z, Randall Cobb, and Bernie Mac.
