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

I would say that my speed, versatility, and explosive play ability makes me a top prospect at my position in the 2025 NFL Draft!

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

One thing that NFL teams should know about me is that I am a very competitive team player who will do whatever it takes for my team to win.

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

If I could donate to one cause in the world it would be to UF Health Shands Hospital for their Sickle Cell initiatives. This is where my youngest sister had to undergo chemotherapy for her sickle cell disease.

Who was your role model?

My role model is my late Father who also played WR in the NFL. He raised 5 good kids and has left a legacy for me us to fulfill.

Who is your favorite NFL team?

I don’t necessarily have a favorite NFL team, however I do like the Miami Dolphins, Chiefs, and Rams because of the way they utilize WR like myself.

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school? 

I would say the most underrated teammate at my school is Ronald McGee. Even though he might not have been given the opportunity he feels like he deserved due to injuries, I commend him for his efforts day in and day out. Whenever he did the get the opportunities he received he made the most out of them. Everyone knows he could play, injuries just allowed the rotation to pass him by. His attitude and efforts were always unwavering no matter the circumstances.

What is your pet peeve? 

I don’t really have any pet peeves. 

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

My favorite teacher is Miss April Clark.

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

The hardest moment I had to overcome in life was getting arrested before my Junior Season. This was very hard because everything I had dreamed of was right in front of me and was all at stake. Even though the situation was nowhere near what it seemed, I still took this moment as a sign from God. It was time for me to refocus because I might have gotten a little off track of the mission that I am on. I grew up an outdoorsman on the countryside of Tallahassee; my parents wouldn’t allow me or my sibling to sit inside or play video games which is how I fell in love with fishing, hunting, and guns. Around my Jr yr in college I was finding too much time to go fish, shoot guns, and even building them with people I met in Kansas when I should’ve been more focused on football. It came back to bite me when someone falsely accused me and another teammate of pointing guns at him in traffic. It was hard because this is not how I was raised and is not a reflection of me! Not only did it affect my family name it also affected my team and school. The community in Kansas and back home knew that this didn’t sound anything like me; however I knew I still had to get back out and do even more to clear this up. Though the accusations were false I still had a legally registered gun in my car which made it seem like the accusations could be true. A later court case did in fact show that there was never any weapons drawn; however this entire situation was one to learn and grown from. Being able to refocus and come back to have one of my best college seasons shows how I was able to overcome this adversity. Today as I look back on the situation I wish it didn’t happen, but overall it has made me a stronger man and has allowed me to mature in many ways. I don’t want anyone to look at this situation and judge me because it isn’t who I am.I’ve always been willing to talk and do whatever just to make sure that this isn’t the case if anyone had questions.

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

If I could have any franchise restaurant in my house, it will probably be Ruth Chris.

What is your favorite snack food? 

My favorite snack is boiled peanuts and my favorite food is just a plain cheese pizza.  

What is your degree in?

I have a minor degree in liberal arts and a master’s degree in sports management.

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

The first person I would want to have dinner with is my Father. I feel like there is so much more to learn from him and so many questions I want to ask. My father was a huge impact on my life and unfortunately left me too early. The second person would be Maya Angelou for her powerful speeches and poetry. I love her autobiography “I know why the caged bird sings” which talks about her early life and the challenges she faced. Lastly I would pick Michael Jordan mostly for his work ethic and attitude. I’d have a lot of questions to ask him as well just about his career alone.

What is your biggest weakness?

My biggest weakness is putting others before myself. I wouldn’t call it a weakness but I find myself giving or helping to the point where it could hurt me sometimes.
