What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2025 NFL Draft?
I am a very patient runner and have great vision. I don’t shy away from contact and I always fight for the extra 1-2 yards. Anyone can run through a wide-open hole. What separates me and some of the other prospects is how hard I run the ball. An old-school type of back.
What is one thing that NFL teams should know about you?
There aren’t many prospects with the mental toughness that I have.
If you could donate to one cause in the world, what would it be?
It would be to a humane society.
Who was your role model?
I have two. My Mom and Dad. Seeing the way they work their tail off is all the motivation I need to hopefully, one day, pay it all back.
Who is your favorite NFL team?
I have two. The Miami Dolphins and Philadelphia Eagles.
Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?
Tivon Sutton. A leader on and off the field. A very physical football player and plays the game the right way. Doesn’t get the love he deserves with the media etc. but we understand how vital he is to the team.
What is your biggest pet peeve?
People chewing their food.
Who is your favorite teacher ever?
Professor Crimmins, we both love to work out and can relate to a lot of things. He’s a good professor but an even better person.
Overcoming adversity is what defines character, what was the hardest moment in your life to overcome?
The hardest moment I’ve had to overcome was when I decided to not get ACL surgery and play without one. Getting back on the field took a lot of hard work and mental toughness.
If you could have any franchise restaurant in your house what would it be?
Chick-Fil-A.
What is your favorite snack food?
Oreos with some nice cold milk.
What is your degree in?
I have a BS in Exercise and Sport Science and I am currently getting my Master of Arts in Criminal Justice with Concentration in Homeland Security.
If you could have dinner with three people dead or alive, who would it be and why?
- Mom
- Dad
- Grandma
I enjoy my time with my family.
What is your biggest weakness?
Not being more outspoken, and campaigning myself.
