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

I play with relentless effort and love physicality. I can analyze plays and process information to make proper reads and pre snap adjustments. I have wrestling experience which drastically helps with tackling ability and overall body positioning through contact. I pick up on small details that most overlook and try to understand everything happening on the field, not just my assignment.

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

Human trafficking. After I watched the movie ‘Sound of Freedom’ I was shocked by what some people are capable of. And I think it is the largest ethical concern in our world today that needs extreme attention.

My dad, I always looked up to him and am grateful for the years he coached me in youth football. And I pray that I can be a man, husband, and father like him in the future.

Who is your favorite NFL team?

Kansas City Chiefs. Born and raised in KC, I loved going to games even before they were back-to-back Super Bowl champs.

Adrian Moreno. He was the glue of our defense, holding it all together. Although conventionally undersized, he hit like he wasn’t.

What is your biggest pet peeve?

Being late.

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

Mr. Colt. He was my freshman year football coach in high school, Pre-Calc and Calc 1 teacher. He was a great person and teacher that loved to talk about football. 

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

In 5th grade when my family lost my grandpa. It was a very difficult time for me and my family due to it being so unexpected. I am thankful for all of the time and memories we made together before he passed, he truly was the best grandpa.

In-N-Out

B.S in Petroleum Engineering and M.S in Engineering and Technology Management

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

  1. Jesus Christ, because he is my lord and savior
  2. Jordan Peterson, because I believe he is one of the greatest intellectuals of our time
  3. Luke Kuechly, because he is my favorite linebacker to watch and to learn from

What is your biggest weakness?

I often overanalyze things, leading to analysis paralysis. I’m working on finding a better balance between depth of analysis and time spent
