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

I know that my versatility as a football player makes me valuable to any program. I have size, speed, power, good blocking ability in the box and in space with great hands and route running, all which I use to match up with linebackers, safeties, and cornerbacks. Most of all, I have passion and love for the sport.

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

NFL teams need to know that I was 100% born to play football at this level and the team that gives me that opportunity will not be disappointed.

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

I would donate to the families of fallen officers and first responders. My parents and most of my family members serve Philadelphia as police and firemen. I know they could lose their lives helping others, so I would want to support them and their families during those difficult times.

Who was your role model? 

My role models are both of my grandfathers. One was in the Army and was a fire chief and the other was in the Air Force and a police sergeant. They taught me a lot of knowledge in mylife.

Who is your favorite NFL team?

The Super Bowl Champs, the Eagles!

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?

Zach Tanner, our quarterback.

What is your biggest pet peeve? 

Forsure when people leave their phone on DND all day.

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

My favorite teacher was Ms. Foster. She was my first grade teacher at Immaculate Heart of Mary school. 

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

My family moved around a bit so I went to 3 different high schools. This made it hard to make friends and play sports the way most student athletes do throughout high school. Once covid hit, I was never recruited out of high school like I wanted. I only played freshman football and spring ball in my senior year. Although I’ve played football all my life, I had to rely on the small amount of exposure that I got and had to stress about if it was enough to get recruited. I realized then how hard and competitive the process was. It has humbled me a lot.

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

Hibachi’s Japanese Steakhouse with the chef.

What is your favorite snack food?

Cinnamon Applesauce

What is your degree in?

Communications. It covers a lot of areas.

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

Coach DeSean Jackson and Coach Michael Vick. They are both starting their coaching careers at small programs and I’d like to sit down with them over cheesesteaks to hear what they’re planning and how their time as Eagles was. I’d bring one of my pop-pops with us to dinner. Maybe President Obama, he seems cool and nice to all people and not just the ones that agree with him.

What is your biggest weakness? 

My biggest weakness is that I’m not a morning person. I’d rather handle my business in the afternoon/evening. I’ve had to learn how to be a morning person especially when I started college. At least in high school I was just going to class rather than practice after, but being an athlete in college meant morning workouts, which was a different story and molded me into a morning person naturally.
