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

• I truly believe that I’m a hard-working player who attacks the ball with my quickness and speed. I’m very athletic, versatile and I understand the game of football very well. I have been blessed to be coached hard my whole life, this helped me develop and excel during my career. 

At what age were you first interested in the sport of football?

• Since I was a kid and could understand sports football stood out to me, I was always at my big brother’s football games growing up and him scoring touchdowns was inspiring. I started playing tackle football at 4 years old in the pop warner league, and I’ve been fortunate enough to be playing football ever since then. 

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

• I’m not just a defensive back, I’m a football player. I’m really fast, smart and ready to learn. I’m willing to play wherever I fit in any organization. Special teams, defense, etc.! 

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

• I would love to donate to an education department for those who do not have the access to learn and develop skills to improve health outcomes. 

What is the best advice you have ever received? 

• To be humble and keep God first, and also to make every day count. This is a daily reminder that I see after my prayer when I start my day. 

Who was your childhood hero? 

• My mother was my childhood hero, growing up seeing her take care of my family and holding us together was a key part of who I am. 

Who is the most underrated teammate in your locker room at your school? 

• Kendall Williams (DB), he plays hard! Another guy (WR) Jeremiah Carroll! 

What is your biggest pet peeve? 

• I have OCD, I’m very organized and clean!

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

• I left University of Virginia and took the JUCO route at Iowa Central Community College, after the COVID-19 pandemic after a year off of school and football. I had worked hard at home during this pandemic while working a job, this was different from what I was used to. Once I got to campus in Iowa, I trained hard with the team and by myself to get ready to dominate every chance I could. I honestly missed the game; this gave me a second chance to play the game I love playing since a kid. During this time, I played multiple positions (CB, SAFETY, KR) leading my team to bowl games and winning seasons. 

Tell me something about your school and why it is so special to you?

• Carson-Newman University is a special place because of its care for the students in the community. It’s a Christian school and very faith based, I grew up going to church but here I rededicated my life to Christ and got baptized by my team Chaplain where I was guided to walk my life in faith. 

What is your favorite snack food? 

• Pickled sausages 

What is the best part of football? 

• 3rd down

If you could sell yourself in one sentence, what would you say? 

• My nickname is Juice, put me in the game so I can get loose. 

If you could compare your play to one player in the NFL who would it be? 

• Jalen Ramsey 

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

• LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Deion Sanders! These are my favorite athletes of all time; they all have been dominant on and off the field having a great career. I would love to soak up some game from these professionals so I could add some more to my game.
