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

I know what I bring to the table as a player. My resilience & attitude when it comes time to play, in my opinion, is unmatched. 

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

One thing I feel that NFL teams should know is that I am a person that has been through lot of adversity when it comes to playing this game. It is nothing that I feel that I can’t overcome with God on my side every step of the way.

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

The hardest moment in my life is honestly just realizing that you can’t take everybody with you. Sometimes people are placed in your life for seasons. So, when their time is up & it is time for you to take the next step, you have to leave them behind. It’s a harsh reality but it’s life.

Wingstop

• Jesus Christ- to understand what is my purpose in this world
• Denzel Washington- to talk about adversity & discipline 
• Tobby Maguire- to get insight on what it feels like to be a part of a historical movie trilogy

What is your biggest weakness?

I try to control things that are out of my control. I need to understand that if things are meant to happen then it will happen but if it doesn’t then there is something better along the way.
