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

What makes me a top prospect is my work ethic. I look to out work my opponents and my teammates during practice. I love competing and I’m always looking to empty the tank each and every day.

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

I was first interested in the sport of football at the age of five years old. I was so excited to play. I wanted to play when I was four years old, but my dad didn’t let me. Once I was able to play, me and my dad made sure to maximize the time I got to play football. That included putting football, and school first and having fun later. Football has done so much for me and my family. I will forever cherish the game, and when I’m done playing I will for sure I get into coaching as well.

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

One thing that NFL teams should know about me is that I’m process oriented. I love game days, I love the big lights, I love the loud chanting crowd. However, it’s something about the off-season, practices, lifts, and meetings that I enjoy so much. I enjoy getting 1% better each and every day in growing within myself on and off the field.

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

What is the best advice you have ever received?

The best advice I’ve ever received is that somebody is always better than you. I do not like the word complacent. The moment I start to feel comfortable then that means I should be getting uncomfortable.

Who was your childhood hero?

My father is my childhood hero. He grew up without a father, and he always made sure to be the best father he could be for me. He is still the person I look up to to the stay. I would love to include my little brother as well, even though he’s younger than me I still appreciate and look up to him as well.

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

The most underrated teammate at my school would be Nolan Ulm, he’s a Canadian wide receiver and for him being Canadian I feel like people don’t give him the respect he deserves. He makes plays, he’s consistent, he’s also the type of person that’s always looking to be one percent better each and every day.

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

One of the hardest moments to overcome in my life finishing college. A lot of people have trouble getting good grades consistently in college. I feel like I truly stay consistent even though my ears were great in some moments, and tough in some moments. But finding the energy and power to overcome obstacles is special to me.

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

What’s special about our school is that Cooper Kupp set the foundation in the wide receiver room. He’s a great role model and a great person to look up to. And I’ve watched every single one of his clips in our locker room. He’s a real pro.
