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

I have the best hands among Running Backs in this class when catching the football.  Also, whenever I have the ball in my hands I have the ability to make defenders miss due to my elusiveness. I like to give a great show to the fans. 

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

I’m a disciplined football player and very coachable. I also love football. 

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

I would definitely try to improve housing management for those who can’t afford it due to the cost of living. Therefore I would build houses at a low cost for minorities.

Who was your role model? 

My dad is my role model. He taught me how to become a true leader and to overcome my fears. Also to never give up. 

Who is your favorite NFL team?

The Baltimore Ravens

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school? 

Khamari Adams is a redshirt freshman wide receiver. I feel like he has great potential to become a phenomenal player in these upcoming years. 

What is your biggest pet peeve? 

My biggest pet peeve is when people project their fear on others.

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

My favorite teacher ever is Mrs. Stephenson. I love her way of teaching. 

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

Being able to earn my bachelor’s degree in business and to become the first college graduate in my family was not an easy road to take but I made it. I’m truly honored. California will forever be home.

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

Nelson  Mandela, Mike Tyson & Tom Brady. They all share similarities when it comes to reaching their goals. All three of them had an impact on their community. All three of them had something to fight for. Greatness was their only option. They left their mark in their own professional ways respectively, which is very inspiring. 

What is your biggest weakness?

Always trying to be perfect in everything I do. I had hard time accepting that it is okay to make mistakes and stop putting pressure on myself. Nobody is perfect. But I learned to not make the same mistake twice over time.
