Talk about your experience as a student. What is your major/minor? Did you participate in any other activities or campus organizations other than football?
My major was a bachelor of science in accounting.
What do you think your teammates would say is your best quality?
Leader / hard working
What kind of role do you see yourself in on the team? What scheme and/or position suits your skill set?
I see myself being in a leadership role because I have been a captain most of my life and people tend to look to me when faced with adversity. The position that suits me best is a 3 technique because of my ability to get off the ball fast and use my speed and finesse to get around offensive lineman. In terms of scheme, I like odd spacing defense in the run game because it allows defensive lineman to make plays and completely shut down an offense. I like even spacing in the pass game because I am able to set up my pass rush and tend to get more 1 on 1s.
Who is the best player you have ever played against in college?
Tyler Cooper

Westley Neal

Do you have a favorite athlete or professional team? Is there a player that you model your game after?
I model my game after Aaron Donald because we are similar in size and I try to use my speed and athleticism as much as possible.
What is your favorite comfort food?
Mac and cheese
Do you have a favorite movie, TV show or actor?
My favorite movie is Remember the Titans and my favorite tv show is Breaking Bad.
What do you do in your spare time? Do you have any hobbies? Any secret talents?
I like to play videogames and hang out with family and friends.
Why do you play football? Who or what motivates you the most?
I play football because it allows me to step into my comfort zone. I zone out everything going on in my life and focus on the task at hand every time I step on the field. My parents motivate me the most because they have given me everything, and one day I want to be able to give them everything they want.
