What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2026 NFL Draft? 

My work ethic and knowledge of the game paired with my physical abilities and mental capacity. 

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

Coming from a D2 program I will always have something to prove. Not only that I belong in the conversation, but that I stand out from the rest completely. 

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

I would donate money to cancer research around the United states. I believe Cancer is still a big part of what plagues our older population and I would like to help those people in need. 

Who was your role model? 

My role model was always my mother growing up because of how strong she was no matter what. It took a lot to raise three kids in her situation and i always am grateful for the sacrifices she made. 

Who is your favorite NFL team?

The Tampa Bay buccaneers. 

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school? 

Amarey Morrow. 

What is your biggest pet peeve? 

Never expect results from work you didn’t put in. 

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

My favorite teacher ever is Mrs. Taylor at Allatoona High School where I graduated. She was always vibrant and full of personality in her class and made sure I always did what I was supposed to do. 

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

I think the second time I flatlined was the hardest time for me because I did not know if I would keep or lose my life. I’m thankful God allowed me to be here today and have an opportunity to chase my dreams.

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

Jersey Mike’s Subs for sure.

What is your favorite snack food? 

I love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. 

What is your degree in? 

Political science and psychology. 

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

I would have dinner with Martin Luther King Jr because I believe there was and is a lot to learn from him about a man with character. I would ask him questions surrounding his beliefs and what angled him to pursue change in his own way. Next I would choose our current president Mr. Donald Trump. I believe he is a very intresting man who has very strong beliefs. I would ask him questions to further understand him and get his view on certain topics. The last person I would have dinner with would be Frank Gore. Frank was a very influential running back not only for his production, but also because of his commitment and impact. I would love to talk to him about the game and what drove him in times of stress and turmoil. I’m sure he would have some great stories about being a veteran of his caliper. 

What is your biggest weakness? 

I believe my biggest weakness is how hard I can be on myself. I hold myself to a very high standard and I work hard every day to be better than I was the day before. Life happens and things do not always go as planned and in these moments I can be hard on myself because of it.
