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

What makes me a top player in my position is my I.Q. I’m not the biggest guy in the field but I can promise you in the smartest. Also, my versatility makes me a valuable prospect being able to motion at the backfield and have the same production. Contributing to special teams is a big part of my game as well also being a natural-born leader and players who played with me gravitate toward my energy.

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

I started playing football at the age of 4 for Franklin Pop Warner and haven’t looked back ever since.

What is the best advice you have ever received? 

“Pressure is a privilege,” one of my former teammates and NFL prospects Jeremiah Nelson told me this.  Also “excuses are the tools for incompetence” my pop Warner coach told me this and it stuck with me for life. Because times are going to get hard you just have to keep pushing.

There are so many at my school that I have to name a few guys starting with CJ Brown he’s one of the best safeties in our league. Kam Wolfe, Justin Harris, Antuan Lloyd, and Elijah Yakpasuo are some underrated guys along with Kurtis Ravenel, Donny Blaine, and Daryl Davis McNeil.

What is your biggest pet peeve? 

My biggest pet peeve is when people think they’re supposed to be given handouts.

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

The hardest moment I’ve overcome so far was losing one of my close friends and then breaking my ankle 3 months before the season. I was able to overcome those circumstances and make the most out of them.

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

Kutztown is a special place to me because of the get it out of the mud mentality we don’t have much but we constantly are contenders to win our conference. Also, the bonds I’ve created with players and people at the university are second to none.

My favorite snack is probably Hershey’s kiss cookies and cream.

I would say “I am a hard worker who is ready to take on any challenge so let’s work”.

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

Alvin Kamara or Deandre Swift my game is pretty similar to there’s. I look for home run plays and I’m a versatile Running Back.

Lebron James, Walter Payton, and Martin Luther King because all 3 have affected me in a way from a historical standpoint and what they stand for.
