What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2025 NFL Draft?
I believe I am one of the more versatile athletes in the class. I have the ability to play anywhere on the field as well as returns kicks and punts at a high level. Being a former quarterback has allowed me to see the game from a different perspective. I have a high football IQ and have the ability to know when to be available for the QB when he needs me!
What is one thing that NFL teams should know about you?
I’m going to be a guy who does the right things and creates trust. I strive to be the most consistent football player on the field, as well as a good person day in and day out.
If you could donate to one cause in the world, what would it be?
Breast Cancer Awareness!
Who was your role model?
My dad has always been my role model from day 1!
Who is your favorite NFL team?
I don’t have one, but I like to watch the Lions and 49ers!
Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?
Shahid Barros
What is your biggest pet peeve?
When people are loud when they chew.
Who is your favorite teacher ever?
My 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Stewart!
Overcoming adversity is what defines character, what was the hardest moment in your life to overcome?
After my freshman year of high school I had to move to another high school and start all over. On top of that my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer that year as well!
If you could have any franchise restaurant in your house what would it be?
Chipotle.
What is your favorite snack food?
Pistachios
What is your degree in?
Undergrad degree in Kinesiology and Masters degree in Kinesiology as well.
If you could have dinner with three people dead or alive, who would it be and why?
Kevin Hart, Julien Edelman, and Tom Brady! I’ve always followed Julien Edelman and love his game and I think Tom has a lot of useful knowledge about stuff outside the game of football. Kevin Hart would be there to crack some jokes and have a good time!
What is your biggest weakness?
Most would say my height is my biggest weakness but personally I don’t look at it as a weakness!
