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

I’d say my one play scoring ability, my ability to return kicks/punts for 6. 

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

6 years old is when I started playing football. 

What is one thing that NFL teams should know about?

I’m a playmaker, I’m a versatile athlete, I can play outside, I can play in the slot, & I can play out of the backfield. I hate losing more than I love winning & I love to compete. I win 1on1 battles. 

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

I’m not too sure, every year around the holidays I go buy large amounts of food to drive around and feed the homeless. I’d definitely want to help/donate somewhere in that area. 

What is the best advice you have ever received?

I have this thing I tell myself & it’s “Nobody cares, Work Harder.” What that means to me is when things aren’t going your way or going as planned instead of complaining about it, just work harder because nobody cares. 

Who was your childhood hero?

My father, 100%. He’s done everything and more for me and my siblings growing up & when I’m in the league he’ll reap the benefits. 

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

There’s a lot of guys that come to mind but Jermarian (Jam) Jackson. This kid is special & has God given abilities that you can’t coach. 

What is your biggest pet peeve?

My biggest pet peeve would be dishonesty. 

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

Mr Conklin, because he’s always doubted me. I love every second of doubt, it fuels me.  

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

I grew up in North Highlands, California. I’ve been facing adversity my entire life, single parent household, growing up in a rough neighborhood, gunshots flying, going JUCO, being overlooked my throughout my college career, being released from the university of Northern Colorado, going to court to defend my name and character against lies from a woman who was someone near & dear to me. The hardest moment though was watching my little brother get shot and me not being able to shield him. I rushed him to the hospital; God placed my brother in the hands of amazing surgeons. Some nights I can’t sleep because of it, this situation also taught me how to forgive. 

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

RMU is special because of the relationships that have developed throughout the locker room, these guys are like family & I wish them nothing but the best, coaches included. 

If you could have any franchise restaurant in your house, what would it be?

I don’t really eat out; I’d prefer some of my fiancé’s cooking 10/10!

What is your favorite snack food?

Goldfish 

What is your degree in?

I have a degree in psychology, working on a master’s in data analytics. 

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

While I know I am among many players of whom are very talented and determined to succeed, I never quit, despite how hard it may get, I continue to persevere. My relentless, my commitment to honesty and integrity, as well as my care for my teammates on and off the field continue to set me apart. 

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

Play style would be a hybrid of Steve smith & Jakeem Grant, 100%! 

What is your favorite game to play at the carnival/theme park?

I have never been, so I honestly have no clue. 

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

I’d say my great grandmother, just to see her beautiful smile again. YHWH, because he is my creator. Steve Smith. I would like to pick his brain, we’re the same size & play the same position.
