What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2025 NFL Draft?

I know I’m a top prospect at my position in this year’s draft because I’m a versatile lineman. I can play both tackle spots and I could give a team help with some guard play in there too. I’m a pretty good run blocker and I move my opponent off the ball. Pass protection wise I’m a pretty good pass protector and I have good feet and heavy hands when I punch my opponent in my set.

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

I’m a locker room guy. I try to make everyone laugh and get the vibes high all the time.

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

It would be research for Alzheimer’s disease, due to my late grandfather passing away.

Who was your role model?

My role models are my parents because they showed me the way to work hard through their many businesses. Prioritizing my sister and I’s education first and put us through private school, getting us the sports equipment we needed, and always supporting us through every season in our life. I appreciate what they have done for us.

Who is your favorite NFL team?

My favorite NFL team is the New Orleans Saints

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?

An underrated teammate at my school is Christian Moody and Erik Barrientos.

What is your biggest pet peeve?

My biggest pet peeve is not finishing what you started.

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

I don’t have a favorite teacher/professor. All the teachers/professors I have had over my scholastic career have been there for me. Making sure all my assignments were up to par and not letting me fall behind.

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

The hardest moment in my life that I had to overcome was learning how to be a team player. In my first year and a half when I was in junior college (Tyler Junior College) I was mainly a practice player and I barely played when we did have games. Also, this was around the pandemic times so I had to adapt not as getting as many reps or opportunities as the older guys on the team and when we had practices or scrimmages I had to treat them like a game every time.

If you could have any franchise restaurant in your house what would it be?

Chipotle or Waffle House

What is your favorite snack food?

Plain Tortilla chips

What is your degree in?

Business Management with a minor in Graphic Design 

If you could have dinner with three people dead or alive, who would it be and why? 

1. Jesus: He is my lord and Savior and he died for all of our sins. There’s no specific reason why. 
2. Drew Brees: Drew gave a lot of people hope when he first went to the New Orleans Saints due to the devastating hurricanes that ripped through New Orleans and also all through Louisiana. I would just like to thank him for all the great memories over the years he was a saint.
3. Larry Allen: He is a Hall of Fame player. One of the greatest guards to play the game and I would just ask for advice on different techniques he used when he was playing.

What is your biggest weakness?

One of my biggest weaknesses is letting the outside noise in.
