What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2025 NFL Draft?
I feel like the thing that makes me a top prospect is not only my ability to play receiver but also the fact that I play on special teams too! I can block and go make plays but can also go down and make tackles and plays on kickoff and punt.
What is one thing that NFL teams should know about you?
I am not a one-dimensional wide receiver that only plays offense, I can play a big role on special teams too! As a gunner on kick off or punt.
If you could donate to one cause in the world, what would it be?
Either world hunger or Disaster Relief to fix things going left in our society because of things like weather and other problems.
Who was your role model?
My role model is my mother because of the simple fact that she’s my mother and father figure! My mom raised six children by her self and we all turn out to be great people so I just want to repay her by doing everything I can to take what I love and make it to where I can take care of her.
Who is your favorite NFL team?
Green Bay Packers

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

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

Any type of fruit
What is your degree in?
Physics and business
If you could have dinner with three people dead or alive, who would it be and why?
Lebron James (to find out what made him believe he could actually become the GOAT), Kevin Heart (so I can get a good laugh in), and my grandmother (to sit down and talk to her again and just tell her how much I’ve accomplished).
What is your biggest weakness?
My biggest weakness is knowing my mother is sick and being away from her!
