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

I would say my athleticism, as well as my balance/flexibility are some of my best traits. 

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

I’m a great teammate both in the locker room and on the field. I’m also willing to do whatever role it takes to help the team win. 

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

Anything regarding hunger or fighting food insecurity. I volunteered at a community kitchen for a class this past semester, so it’s something that I’ve seen firsthand and believe it’s not talked about enough regarding issues in the world. 

Who was your role model?

I would say both my parents as they’ve done a ton through my childhood and life to give me the best situation possible. 

Who is your favorite NFL team?

The Buffalo Bills, but whatever team wants to take a chance on me will be my new favorite 

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?

I’ve played with and against many great players throughout my career so it’s hard to choose one. Although not a current player I would say Orlando Cabrera is the most underrated. He was a very undersized D-lineman yet gave me and others many problems on a consistent basis.

What is your biggest pet peeve?

People that don’t have personal/situational awareness of others in public

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

Mr. Bindig from my high school is probably my favorite teacher. He had a great balance of making the learning environment fun while also being very educational and I wish him nothing but the best. 

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

I had originally committed to a different school coming out of high school. Shortly after arriving there I realized it wasn’t for me and made me doubt my love for football. I’m glad I overcame that and was able to have a successful career at Buffalo State.

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

Popeyes no doubt. 

What is your favorite snack food?

Any kettle cooked chip and some type of gummy

What is your degree in?

Health and Wellness 

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

Kobe Bryant, as he’s my favorite athlete of all time. Tom Brady because he’s the greatest football player of all time. Then a bit of a curveball I’d say Action Bronson. He’s one of my favorite musicians and I’m a big fan of his culinary work and series.

What is your biggest weakness?

I wouldn’t necessarily say a weakness, but as an undersized OT in college who is most likely going to switch to the interior, I just want to make sure that transition is as smooth as possible.
