What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2025 NFL Draft?
I believe I’m one of the top prospects at my position because I am a true three-down linebacker. I can play the run, and the pass, rush the passer, and be on the field every snap. I might not have the advantage of being the biggest but my ability to study film and break down an opponent gives me an advantage as I’m able to anticipate things quickly.
What is one thing that NFL teams should know about you?
I have grown up in this game, my father was playing in the NFL when I was born and then has coached football for my entire life. I’m a coach’s kid. I understand how to be a pro. How important the small details are to play professional football, from film study, practice habits, eye discipline, footwork, taking care of your body, etc.
If you could donate to one cause in the world, what would it be?
I would donate to an organization that helps rescue animals. I have had rescue dogs for most of my life. A little bit of money goes a long way for these animals.
Who was your role model?
My Dad is my role model because he has sacrificed so much for my family and I have never once heard him complain.
Who is your favorite NFL team?
Dallas Cowboys
Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?
We have a lot of great players, but one that comes to mind is Ricardo Delgado. He is an all-around great player and a great teammate.
What is your biggest pet peeve?
Being interrupted
Who is your favorite teacher ever?
My high school math teacher Mrs. Balakoff, helped me a lot with school even after I had graduated.
Overcoming adversity is what defines character, what was the hardest moment in your life to overcome?
When my Mom was diagnosed with cancer was one of the harder moments for me. It was one of those things that feels like it’ll never happen to anyone in your family but when it does it’s a shock. Luckily she is healthy now.
If you could have any franchise restaurant in your house what would it be?
Wawa. They have everything.
What is your favorite snack food?
Chocolate covered pretzels
What is your degree in?
My degree is in business management
What is your biggest weakness?
My biggest weakness from a football standpoint is probably my inexperience as a linebacker. I was a tight end before last year. Playing inside linebacker is one of the more challenging positions mentally in my opinion. To have to adapt to a new position in college there were some learning curves I had to figure out on the fly.
