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

• In the 2025 WR draft class I not only have some of the best route running abilities, but I definitely have the best blocking film. Im a player who tries to make the most of every snap so even when the ball isn’t in my hands I’m still contributing to the team in anyway I can. My film shows pancake after pancake on the outside, CB’s and Safeties hate me.  

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

• One thing NFL teams should know about me is that I will not be outworked. I love challenges and I love competing. I cant wait to compete with the best at the next level and show a team what I can bring as an addition to their team. Not only with skill but my competitive energy. 

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

• A foundation I’m very interested in is the SPIN Foundation (Single Parent in Need). Raising a child as a single parent is something I watched my mother do all my life and as a kid I would do anything to help her. The weight of raising a kid alone can be tough so I’d love to help kids and parents in need!

Who was your role model? 

• My Role Model Growing up was my mother. I never needed for anything growing up, but if I did my mom made sure I had it even when she did not. I can’t wait to repay her for all her sacrifices!

Who is your favorite NFL team?

• Even though I’m from the Philadelphia Area, I grew up a Greenbay Packers fan. I loved Brett Farve as a kid and then Aaron Rodgers came in next. I love the team’s offensive scheme and I loved the arm talent and leadership of both Farve and Rodgers during their time in Greenbay. To catch an Aaron Rodgers pass would be a dream. 

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school? 

• An underrated teammate from My 2024 team is Robert Carter Jr., Rob was the highest rated PFF Corner in the FCS last season and he also had probably the best catch in college football last season on his  one hand interception against Utah State. Teams should definitely be on the lookout!

What is your biggest pet peeve? 

• My biggest pet peeve is when I don’t hear someone clearly and I ask them to repeat themselves and they say “Nevermind”. I don’t know why but this is something that’s very irritating. 

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

• My favorite teacher is my Art Professor Nestor Armondo Gil. Nestor is an amazing artist who teaches at Lafayette College in Easton, Pa. He teaches creativity, thinking outside the box, and pure uniqueness in the art world. His methods pushes his students work to the next level and makes viewers of art think about what they are seeing. 

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

• If i could have any franchise restaurant at my home it would probably be a breakfast place like iHop or Denny’s. Waking up to a full breakfast of my choice each day would be a dream come true. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

What is your favorite snack food? 

• My current favorite snack is Reese’s Cups. I can eat a pack everyday. 

What is your degree in? 

• I have my Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts.

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

• If I could have dinner with 3 people dead or alive I’d have dinner with first Michael Jackson. The king of pop is the greatest music artist to grace the planet, I’d have so many questions about his career. The next person is the Rapper/Film Director 50 Cent. He has a collection of really good TV series and I think my life story would be a great pitch for a show. The last Person I’d have dinner with is Jesus himself. Seeing his works first hand was probably unimaginable, turning water into wine and walking on water. I’m sure he was always a spectacle wherever he went. 

What is your biggest weakness? 

• I think my Biggest weakness is the amount of opportunity I have been given to showcase my talent. Every time I get an opportunity I always make the most of it. As a player you can only control what you do with the opportunity not how many opportunities are given. This is the only knock on my resume but the film does not lie, I’ve shown again and again that I’m a playmaker.
