What was it like playing the 2024 Caribe Royale Orlando Hula Bowl?

Overall it was a really good experience. Getting to be around a lot of great talent and be evaluated at the highest level. I believe they did a really good job especially having to juggle so many guys for a whole week. 

What do you think NFL teams feel is your best trait? 

I think NFL teams feel my best feature is my size and smarts which helps me be in the right position to make plays. 

Who was your mentor growing up, and what made them a great mentor? 

Other than my mom and step dad, my mentor was my Pop Warner Coach. The thing that made him such a good mentor  was the aspect that he did not just care about how you were doing on your best days, he made sure you were going to make it on your worst days. On top of that he had played a the highest level so he wanted to make sure you could achieve all of your goals no matter the circumstances around you. 

Who was the toughest player you had to face during the week of the Hula Bowl?

The WR from Ole Miss, Dayton Wade. He was super shifty and good with his routes so it made me have to be uberly technical to be in the right positions. 

What is your favorite television show?

My favorite TV show is probably Suits or white collar 

What is your degree in? 

My undergrad degree is in Human Organizational Development With a minor in business 

My Masters degree is in Recreation and Sport Management 

What is the craziest song in your playlist, that we would not expect?

Ella Mai – Naked 

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

I honestly wouldn’t say I am like any other corner due to the characteristics I play with. The best way to compare me would be a mix of Gilmore Mental, Denzel Ward’s playmaking ability, and J Alexander’s savviness 

What does your pre-game meal look like?

Usually, it’s pasta with meat sauce and cheese. Then Caesar salad and garlic bread 

Who is your favorite teacher of All-Time?

I would say Kervis Walker because he was also my coach  

We believe in giving back, If you could give back to one amazing charity or foundation what would it be? 

I would give back to Make a Wish because those kids deserve to have everything they ever wanted come true due to how they battle each and everyday. 

What is your favorite color? 

Tan 

What is your dream job after football? 

To be a consultant for sports companies, or to own a food establishment and bar.
