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

I possess the ability and intelligence to play anywhere on the Defensive Line. I’ve been able to contribute effectively lining up anywhere from a Head up 0 to a Wide 9. I’m dominant in the run game and have a skill set to where I can be affective rushing the passer. 

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

I’m a team first guy, I’ve always played my role to 110% Effort. Whether that was a Scout team player, Special Teams, or as a Leader of the team. My mindset is how can I contribute and add value to the team in order for us to win. 

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

I would donate to the Wounded Warrior Project to help any Armed Forces Members who have encountered injuries during deployment. 

Who was your role model? 

My role models were my parents because of the sacrifices and decisions they’ve made for my 4 sibling and I to ensure we can have a better life and experience things that have left a lasting impact on our lives. 

Who is your favorite NFL team?

Washington Commanders

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school? 

The most underrated teammate is Dephabian Fant, he’s not the biggest, but he is somewhat the fastest and whenever he touches the ball he has the ability to take it to the crib. 

What is your biggest pet peeve? 

A chronic complainer who doesn’t want to work to find a solution. 

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

Dr. Dow, One of my professors at my previous school, Incarnate Word. She has helped me a lot in my time there finding resources and helping me navigate avenues while seeking my degree. 

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

One recently that’s still fresh on my mind is going out and playing against Jackson St after hearing the news that one of my teammates had passed earlier that morning. As a player and as a team, we can only credit God for the strength he gave us to play that game. 

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

Chipotle

What is your favorite snack food? 

Welch’s Fruit Snacks

What is your degree in? 

• Bachelors in Kinesiology with a minor in Education. 
• Masters is in Sports Administration 

Aaron Donald, Maxx Crosby, and J Cole because all three I see as guys who really had to put in work to get where they are and are still downplayed a little bit despite their impact in their respective industries. 

What is your biggest weakness?

My lack of patience at times.
