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

MY ATHLETICISM, THE WAY I RESPOND TO ADVERSITY, AND THE ATTITUDE/DRIVE I HAVE COMPLETING THE TASK GIVEN

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

NFL teams should know that I bring a blue-collar work ethic every single day. I’m not just about talent—I’m about effort, discipline, and toughness in everything I do. Whether I’m grinding in the weight room, studying film, or executing on the field, I take pride in doing the hard work that others shy away from. I’m reliable, coachable, and always ready to bring energy to my team.

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

I would want to donate to a cause that helps young athletes develop proper strength and conditioning techniques. I know how important it is to train the right way, not just to get stronger but to stay healthy and avoid injuries. If I can support a program that gives kids access to good coaching, equipment, and mentorship, I know I’d be making a real impact.

To me, effort, respect, and integrity are non-negotiable, whether it’s on the field, in the weight room, or in life.

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

• Kobe Bryant– His “Mamba Mentality” was legendary. I’d want to pick his brain about discipline, work ethic, and what it takes to separate yourself from the competition. His mindset was different, and I know I could learn a lot from him.  
• Walter Payton– He was the definition of toughness and hard work. His conditioning and training were next level, and I’d love to hear how he built that relentless mindset and how he approached the game and life.
