What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2025 NFL Draft?
I know that my being a versatile player in my position can make me a top pick in this draft. I say this because I have played in a variety of offenses and that could be helpful to a team that may try to switch up their playbook or even just try to add trick plays. You can put me anywhere on the field and I will show out. I can make it happen.
What is one thing that NFL teams should know about you?
One thing NFL teams should know about me is that I am a hard worker and like to compete. I love competing with the best of the best because at the end of the day, I’m helping step my game up.
If you could donate to one cause in the world, what would it be?
If I could donate to one cause in the world I would like to donate to world hunger.
Who was your role model?
I would say that my mom is my role model. Through all the things our family went through and the things she went through individually, she always kept her head high with a smile on her face. She always made a way when we thought there was no way. Most importantly, she always told me to have faith and now mama I want you to have faith in me.
Who is your favorite NFL team?
My favorite NFL team since I was young has been the New York Giants.
Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?
It’s hard to choose from when you have so many but I’ll probably go with Benjamin Foster or Andra’e McMillian.
What is your biggest pet peeve?
My biggest pet peeve would probably be when someone spits when they talk.
Who is your favorite teacher ever?
Really a tough question, but I’ll say that my favorite teacher ever would probably be Dr. Vozen from Mississippi College.
Overcoming adversity is what defines character, what was the hardest moment in your life to overcome?
The hardest moment in my life was when I and my family lost everything in a house fire, and after that, everything just went downhill. We adapted to the way we had to live after that and that’s what made me the man I am today.
If you could have any franchise restaurant in your house what would it be?
I would choose Texas Roadhouse as a franchise restaurant in my house.

If you could have dinner with three people dead or alive, who would it be and why?
If I can have dinner with three people it would be Jesus, my auntie Bernetta, and my mother. These people impacted my life the most in many ways I couldn’t imagine and because of that, they give me a reason to keep going. They did things for me that I didn’t even know at the time that helped me to know and achieve so much.
What is your biggest weakness?
My biggest weakness is thinking that I’m not doing enough even though I’m giving all that I can and then some.
