What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2024 NFL Draft?
I am a consistent playmaker and my ability to analyze the game situation and make quick decisions for a better outcome.
At what age were you first interested in the sport of football?
I️ started playing football around the Age of 9
What is one thing that NFL teams should know about you?
I live by the phrase “The cream always rises to the top.” To me, this just means that the best man will always come out on top my goal is to be that person that is why I️ am a hard worker.
If you could donate to one cause in the world, what would it be?
If I️ could donate to one cause it would be to the United Nations world food program. I️ believe no person should die of hunger, it’s plenty of food that goes to waste every day.
What is the best advice you have ever received?
It’s simple “Your input equals your outcome.” If the work you put into your goals determines your success then why not go all out?
Who was your childhood hero?
My mother
Who is the most underrated teammate in your locker room at your school?
Devin Coney
What is your biggest pet peeve?
People who show up late after rushing you to hurry
Overcoming adversity is what defines character, what was the hardest moment in your life to overcome?
When I first tried playing football I only got 6 plays a game. Instead of pointing fingers, I️ kept my head down and worked, and now things are only getting better.
Tell me something about your school and why it is so special to you?
It’s in a small town in Las Vegas, New Mexico which gave me another perspective on life I️ was used to being in city areas but as I️ came to New Mexico I️ started engaging more with nature.
What is your favorite snack food?
My favorite snack food is Milk and chips ahoy! cookies
What is the best part of football?
The best part of football is the memories. The hard work, the wins, and the tough losses create brotherly love. Friendships you probably won’t ever encounter in life because we went through the experience together.
If you could sell yourself in one sentence what would you say?
RESILIENCE
If you could compare your play to one player in the NFL who would it be?
Tyler Lockett
If you could have dinner with three people dead or alive, who would it be and why?
- Joshua Bell – one of my closest friends in my life who passed away. You never know how much time you have with people and should cherish every memory.
- Michael Jordan – Everyone who’s an athlete’s goal is to be the best. But MJ had a different work ethic it’s never a time you’ve seen him give 100%. He plays hard every chance he got and is considered one of the best NBA players
- Jerry Rice – he’s the best to ever play wide receiver that’s my goal if I️ ever want to reach that status it’s best to get knowledge and or advice from people who were/are where I️ want to be in life.
