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

My mindset, I know I’m not the biggest, I know I may not be the fastest, I also know that I didn’t come from a big school or a winning team. But that is my why and that what keeps me motivated.

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

I pay attention to detail, I learn fast, and I don’t play as a robot, I make plays by simply doing my job and more. 

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

I would donate to most single parents, as I grew up with a single mother I know the struggle and the hard work a parent puts in just to make sure their son/daughter can have what they want. And I would donate winter coats to the homeless/needy.

Who was your role model?

My brother, Tony Cheatom he is the reason why I grind everyday. He has done a lot for me and he shouldn’t have but he wants me to be successful so he chose to make sacrifices that he shouldn’t have for me.

Who is your favorite NFL team?

The Philadelphia Eagles

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?

DominiQue Carter aka (straps), the boy has a hell of a work ethic, he kept me on my toes often this past season actually.  

What is your biggest pet peeve?

Smacking gum, having to repeat myself, bad hygiene 

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

My high school teacher Ms. Smith/Coach Wood, she put up with a lot of my crap but she genuinely cared.

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

Th biggest adversity moment for me was getting eligible after transferring schools during COVID, I lost a couple years in football because I was so behind with school because of transferring that when I finally got eligible it was stress relieving. Watching my friends all get ready on gameday while I couldn’t get ready for war with them was heart breaking.

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

Any franchise restaurant? Im would have to say Raisin Canes or Panda Express.

What is your favorite snack food?

Fruit snacks/Doritos Spicy Nachos

What is your degree in?

Business Management, I want to build a relationship with others through fitness training and building my own gym across the country to help them develop spiritually, mentally, and physically. 

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

Jay Z, Elon Musk, Kobe Bryant

Jay Z can show me how to be successful, Elon can teach me how to be creative and make what the people like, Kobe can teach me his mindset and killer instinct.

What is your biggest weakness?

My biggest weakness is the thought of doubt myself.
