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

I’d first credit God for the athletic ability he has blessed me with. Secondly, I’m a student of the game who does not make the same mistakes twice. Being a student of the game allows my God-given athleticism to kick in so that I can play fast and react to plays that I anticipate from film study. 

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

NFL teams should know that they are getting the full package of a human being. Not only will I produce on the football field but I’ll be a great leader and community builder on and off the field. 

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

If I could donate to one cause, it would be education accessibility…specifically initiatives that provide quality education to underserved and marginalized communities around the world. Education is a powerful equalizer, enabling individuals to break cycles of poverty, improve their quality of life, and contribute meaningfully to their communities. Supporting efforts like building schools, training teachers, providing learning materials, and offering scholarships can create a ripple effect of positive change across generations.

Who was your role model?

My role model is my mom. My mom my entire life has been the prime example of what a perfect human being would look like. While no one is technically perfect, my mom’s qualities of being the most nurturing, hard-working, selfless, and loving person you could meet, push me to be the best version of myself every day. 

Who is your favorite NFL team?

NY Giants

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?

Micheal Weaver

What is your biggest pet peeve?

My biggest pet peeve is inconsiderate burps. I personally believe that burping is worse than passing gas yet burping is normalized. We should change the social norm where we treat our burps like our farts. 

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

Mr. McIver

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

The hardest moment in my life to overcome was losing two good friends in high school in the time of two months. While I am managing their losses and carrying their memories with me it was a challenging journey to process the grief and find a way forward. Their absence taught me the value of cherishing the people I care about and reminded me to live out my blessing of life in their honor. It also inspired me to support others going through similar losses, helping me turn my pain into a source of strength and empathy.”

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

I would choose the best buffet out there to always have different options to eat. 

What is your favorite snack food?

Any kind of popcorn

What is your degree in?

I’ll have a Bachelor’s degree as a Criminal Justice Major and a Psychology Minor

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

What is your biggest weakness?

My biggest weakness is two things tied together. Firstly, it’s hard for me to say no to helping out others or even taking on a mutually beneficial task. The problem is that I’m a person who goes all in on whatever I commit to. This often leads me to be pulled in different directions at once, where even though I ultimately manage things successfully, it can be pretty stressful.
