What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2026 NFL Draft?
I have the ability to take over a game as a wide receiver, creating explosive plays and consistently moving the chains. But what sets me apart is my impact on special teams, flipping field position with dynamic kick returns. My versatility allows me to change the game from multiple phases.
What is one thing NFL teams should know about you?
I show up as my authentic self in every situation, consistent, humble, and fully committed.
If you could donate to one cause in the world, what would it be?
I would donate to education for underprivileged youth, especially in low-income communities across the U.S. and globally. Education is the root of opportunity. It breaks cycles of poverty, empowers people to think independently, and builds lifelong confidence. One educated child can transform a whole family or community. So many kids have the heart and hustle, they just need someone to believe in them.
Who is your role model?
Jesus Christ. He’s the ultimate example of love, humility, and obedience.
Who is your favorite NFL team?
Minnesota Vikings.
Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?
Grant Guyett. Highly talented, smart, and reliable. Doesn’t get the recognition he deserves.
What is your biggest pet peeve?
A negative attitude and lack of effort. Both are contagious and kill momentum.
Who is your favorite teacher ever?
Brian Glashagel.
Overcoming adversity is what defines character. What was the hardest moment in your life to overcome?
Growing up without a father and still becoming the man I was meant to be. That journey taught me strength, discipline, and resilience.
If you could have any franchise restaurant in your house, what would it be?
Chipotle.
What is your favorite snack food?
Cream Cheese Rangoon’s!
What is your degree in?
Sports Management.
If you could have dinner with three people, dead or alive, who would it be and why?
- Jesus Christ – He’s our Lord and Savior and holds the blueprint for living a righteous
life. - Nikola Tesla – His genius was ahead of his time, and I’d love to understand how his
mind worked. - Albert Einstein – To hear his thoughts on the universe and ask questions that would
stretch my perspective.
What is your biggest weakness?
Patience. I sometimes want to see results right away, but I’ve learned that all great things take time and discipline.
