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

My versatility with my ability to catch out of the backfield and extend plays. The ability to take any run or any given play the distance. Most importantly, my ability to lead and get the most out of everyone. 

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

I am a natural leader on and off the field. People naturally gravitate toward me and I take that as a huge responsibility because they’re somewhat looking up to me and trusting me to lead them in the right direction.

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

No Kid Hungry, to try and give them access to the things that I am blessed with to feed them and their families. 

Who was your role model? 

My parents, watching them break generational curses along with the sacrifices necessary to put our family in a position to beat the odds. Is something I look up to and plan to continue in their honor. 

Who is your favorite NFL team?

Detroit Lions, as a kid I’ve always wanted to play for them. It’s part of my pride from being from Detroit. It would be a dream come true to make it to the NFL and play on any team but also to play for the Lions.

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school? 

Christopher Jones aka CJones. All around DB for us at Davenport can play any position in the secondary. He’s underrated because he’s a “do everything right” type of guy first on the field and in the weight room but with high production on the field contributing in every facet of the game. Pass breakups, INT, tackles, etc.  

What is your biggest pet peeve? 

Hearing someone talking about how badly they want to achieve something or even complaining about something and putting no action behind it to achieve or fix their situation. 

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

Mrs. Kelly Wass Elementary 4th grade social studies teacher. She was the first teacher to believe in me, see past all of my childish ways, and see that I was a smart bright kid. I had countless conversations with her concerning my future and her efforts to stay in contact throughout the years.  

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

Senior year of high school I completely tore the Medial Meniscus in my right knee. Fast forward to freshman year of college after a dominant year, I did the same thing on my other knee and had to recover on top of having a similar or better season than my first year. Bouncing back from that and enduring another 6-8 months of treatment and trial and error to come back to full strength if not better than I was before was a challenge for me. 

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

Mcdonald’s because you can never go wrong with them. Out of all fast foods you’re always in the mood for McDonald’s.  

What is your favorite snack food? 

A bowl of Fruity Pebbles or Cinnamon Toast crunch.

What is your degree in? 

Integrative Professional Studies degree, in the realm of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

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

Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, and David Goggins. They all have a mindset that’s unshakable and are always looking for ways to get better and overcome any challenges that come against them. They have figured it out mentally that the average human mind can’t comprehend. They say football or the path to greatness is more mental than a physical 90/10. 

What is your biggest weakness? 

Hot fries, cool blue Gatorade, and Trolli sour gummy worms.
