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

I am very versatile at all positions on the d line. I am a dominant force in the pass and run game. I evaluate film study and call out our opponents plays before the ball is snapped. My first step is hard to beat and block me along with my physicality. 

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

I am a believer above all else I am a Christian man. I want it more than anyone who lines up next to me or in front of me. My film speaks for its self. I have family in the NFL right now but I want my own legacy. I want to win championships whether it’s CFL, UFL, or NFL. and that takes grit and hard work. That’s what I will do my best to bring to your program with no slack. 

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

I would donate to poverty alleviation. I sponsor a child that doesn’t get the same opportunities that I had so I would definitely want better for all the children around the entire world. 

Who was your role model?

My mother and aunt was my role model. I never really had anyone to look up to besides them. The work they put in on the daily to make sure we could eat and have a roof over our heads taught me respect and determination. Nothings given it’s earned. 

Who is your favorite NFL team?

I love the patriots. I’m from Covington, KY right next to Cincinnati so my family loves the Bengals. 

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?

Mason Bell. This guy is a dude on and off the field. His work ethic and mindset is just set different. This guy is an absolute dawg. 

What is your biggest pet peeve? 

When we’re at Mexican and someone rubs the queso on the side of the bowl. 

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

My favorite teacher would have to be Mr. Tucker. He showed and taught me that I was different from everyone else. He was by my side even though I didn’t choose to go to a huge d1 like everyone else. That meant more to me than he knows.

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

The hardest moment for me was when right after my first time being all conference I got hurt right before coming into camp next year. And then got hurt first game of the season that year. I came back the same year even though I needed surgery for my team because they needed me. 

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

Easily either chipotle or chick fil a. 

What is your favorite snack food?

I love rice crisps caramel kind.

What is your degree in?

Bachelors in exercise science with an emphasis on human development and a minor in psychology 

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

I know a lot of people say famous people but I would rather my loved ones so my Aunty, Uncle, and friend. These are the people that have had a huge impact on me in my life while they were alive. 

What is your biggest weakness?

My biggest weakness would probably be when teammates don’t do their 1/11th and not taking practice serious so I get frustrated. I experienced this a lot in college and we got gashed in game for it. So my biggest weakness would be emotions when people aren’t doing their job to win because I have so much passion for the game.
