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

I’m an athletic, big, tough lineman that can learn and play all positions on the line. Playing at a D2 I know the odds are stacked against me, but I’m always prepared and ready to beat the odds, which a lot of the top prospects in my position can’t relate to that. 

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

They should know that I’m coachable, I will learn the plays, techniques, formations very quickly. I’m also a very hard worker and a consistent player, you can always trust me that I will get the job done and give it everything that I got. 

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

CTEPH/ pulmonary hypertension association. My Uncle dealt with CTEPH for 12+ years before it took his life, and I would want to donate to that association so nobody has to go through what he and millions of other people had to/ or are going through. 

Who was your role model? 

My Uncle.

Who is your favorite NFL team?

Baltimore Ravens 

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school? 

Jordan Barnett 

What is your biggest pet peeve? 

Anybody who complains about doing something or chews loud 

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

Mrs. Burdette, she helped me through a lot with my mental and my education which I always will appreciate for the rest of my life. 

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

Probably the whole COVID pandemic, it took away my senior year of high school with school events and football which definitely was difficult. 

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

Chick-fil-A 

What is your favorite snack food? 

Buffalo and Ranch Doritos 

What is your degree in? 

Bachelor of Science degree in Recreation and Sports Studies 

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

Kobe, LeBron and Michael Jordan. I think it would be an entertaining dinner with them just talking and arguing about the goat debate. 

What is your biggest weakness? 

Being a Vocal leader, I like to lead by example but I’m working on becoming a better vocal leader.
