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

What make me a top prospect is my ability to withstand uncertain circumstances, my mindset itself is one of my most valuable things about me that sets me apart making me a top prospect. Being able to thrive in uncomfortable environments is something almost every offensive lineman has to go through no matter what situation. But me I embrace it look forward to that dark place !

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

On and off the field I’m going to do what it takes to win

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

If I could I would donate to the Wounded Warrior Foundation

Who was your role model? 

I would say David Goggins his whole speech of building a warriors mentality and of becoming who he is today is something that I work my mind to. “ building calluses on your mind” is probably one of the greatest quotes I’ve heard from him and it resonates with me today.

Who is your favorite NFL team?

The Vikings

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school? 

Quarterback Darryl Stevenson (DJ) this guy in my eyes is probably one of the most underrated guys in my opinion. Although this past season he hasn’t seen the field as much being the second string quarterback. He always graded out the highest in the qb room and is an outstanding guy on and off the field. He never complains about anything and plays his role well whatever it may be, when his number is called he knows what to do by controlling an offense and making plays when we need it the most. 

What is your biggest pet peeve? 

Not having a sense of URGENCY

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

At My High School ( Red Springs NC) he was a teacher and a coach so I would say Lawrence Ches

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

My Parents getting separated was hard for me because most of my siblings parted ways as well. Not being able to see my siblings on a day to day basis was hard for me so making something out of nothing was something I did for a while.

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

IHOP

What is your favorite snack food? 

Cinnamon Toast Crunch

What is your degree in? 

Sports & Exercise Science

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

Now this Is a hard question but I would say Akira Toriyama, Keeanu Reeves, and The creator of Roblox David Baszucki. I’d enjoy sitting down with Mr Toriyama because I grew up watching anime and dragon ball z being one of the main animesI watched I would want to know what motivated him to make such a treasure of a concept. I chose Keeanu Reeves because john wick is on of my favorite movie series and lastly the creator of Roblox because not only can you play games you can actually create them and I would like to know what caused this guy to create something to explore ones imagination to the fullest!

What is your biggest weakness?

My biggest weakness would be not knowing when to Quit On and off the field I’m going to do what it takes
