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

What makes me a top prospect is that I have always been doubted for my size and not always judged by my football abilities. I will always be the hardest working member in the room and will always make sure to protect my skill players on offense and dominate the defense to the ground.

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

That I love football I don’t play for the money or for the fame I play because I love the game of football I love being able to take my anger and frustration out on the player with an opposite color jersey on and being able to legally do it over and over again over the course of a game. 

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

If I could donate to any cause it would have to be the American diabetes association. Diabetes is something I’m blessed to not have but many people around me and many people in my family have it which has caused some deaths to close friends and family so just being able to support them and give back to understand more about the disease would be great for me.

Who was your role model? 

My role model is my dad. My dad makes a lot of stuff happen and he just always is there for everyone no matter if you are a stranger or if he’s known you for years he will always make u feel comfortable and make sure that you are taken care of. He also has the hardest work ethic i have ever seen which he instilled in me to make me the player i am today

Who is your favorite NFL team?

My favorite NFL team is the Seattle Seahawks. I grew to like those Legion of Boom teams and just stuck with them ever since.

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school? 

My most underrated teammate is probably our running back Landen Chambers. Landen doesn’t say much on the field he just goes to work everyday and everybody will see the big improvement he made from year 2 to year three this year. 

What is your biggest pet peeve?  

My biggest pet peeve is people that talk a big game but don’t follow through. I don’t wanna hear you talk about what you are going to do on the field I want to see it. And when u talk a big game and don’t follow up with what they said they were going to do. 

Who is your favorite teacher ever? 

My favorite teacher ever would have to be my 10th grade biology teacher Mr. Archambeau. He was the funniest teacher and would always make sure everybody was engaged in the class. Me and him would always talk sports and we both had a common favorite artist in future.

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

The hardest moment in my life up to this point was when I was getting recruited out of high school that all the big major schools that had offered me basically said they wanted taller or bigger guys. So I made it my goal to be better than everyone in my signing class that was recruited over and I would say that have. Another instance on that note was when I tried to commit to Astate and they said what they said to me. I made it my plan to dominate them this year and I did just that. 

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

Zaxbys

What is your favorite snack food? 

Hot Cheetos 

What is your degree in? 

Exercise science 

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

LeBron James, Trent Williams, and Jay Z. I would want to learn from LeBron and Jay Z since they are both black billionaires what did it take to get to that level and how maintain and keep money you earn plus LeBron is my goat. From Trent I would love to learn more about the game and pick his brain cause hopefully one day I will be playing next to him 

What is your biggest weakness? 

My biggest weakness even since high school is finishing plays. I don’t know why but I just always tend to look for the ball carrier when I have my man dead to rights but I just don’t finish him or my guy falls off and I’m not attached and that’s something that I’ve worked on this spring and it will not show up on film this fall.
