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

What makes me a top prospect in this draft is my character, work ethic, ability to simplify the game through defensive recognition, my hunger to always improve, and my ability to make any throw on the field.

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

One thing that NFL teams should know about me is that whatever team gives me an opportunity will get a competitor that will do whatever it takes to chase excellence and produce wins.

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

If I could donate to a cause in the world it would be for helping young kids in tough environments to have safe and productive outlets like music programs or sports programs rather than looking to things that aren’t legal or helpful to their mental and spiritual growth.

Who is your role model?

My role model is my dad and my older brother. They are the epitome of character and work ethic and I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for them.

Who is your favorite NFL team?

My favorite NFL team is any team that will give me an opportunity!

Who is the most underrated teammate in your locker room at your school? 

The most underrated teammate at my school is Nick Dobson! He is a 6’3 270lb TE who has a tremendous work ethic, freak athleticism, is very physical and reliable. Any team that gives him an opportunity will be getting a diamond in the rough!

What is your biggest pet peeve? 

My biggest pet peeves are apathy and negative energy. I believe that positive energy is a choice that everyone can choose to exemplify and so is caring about others as well. When those choices aren’t made it’s usually due to a selfish outlook rather than a selfless one and that isn’t something that I’m fond of.

Who is your favorite teacher?

My favorite teacher ever is my college professor Emily Butler. She embodies what it means to care about others and their growth while also being confident and firm on who she is. A great person with a great heart for serving people!

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

My hardest moment to overcome was having to fight through the season after my grandmother passed away. It was a tough time for my entire family as she was a cornerstone for us. I was away from my family at the time and I had to bear a lot of the grief all while competing and striving to win games. During that season I contributed to our team having the best season in program history and I believe in doing so I made my grandmother proud.

If you had a franchise restaurant in your home what would it be?

If I could have any franchise restaurant in my house it would be Chipotle.

What is your favorite snack?

My favorite snack food is any gummy candy or fruit snacks. I find the most exclusive ones out there!

What is your degree in?

My degree is an MBA in General Management.

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

If I could have dinner with 3 people dead or alive, the first would be Jesus because that is someone that I follow and would love to have an in person conversation with. The second would be my grandfather on my dad’s side. I never got to meet him or talk to him, so meeting him and having a conversation would be something that would feel right. Lastly, I would have dinner with my grandfather on my mom’s side. We hardly ever got the opportunity to talk when he was still with us and now that I am older, there are a lot of things that I believe I could learn from a heritage standpoint, a life standpoint, and many other things.

What is your biggest weakness?

My biggest weakness is that I am a perfectionist. I am not easily satisfied and at times it can be overwhelming. Wanting things to be the right way all the time can rub off the wrong way sometimes, but I always strive for things to be right. It is something that allows me to continue to strive to get better, but at times it can get in the way of progress. Nevertheless, the job must get done!
