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

I believe my intangibles, my football IQ, and the ability to see plays before they happen, make me a great prospect. 

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

I am extremely passionate about football and would call myself a football nerd. 

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

If I could donate to one cause in the world it would be special Olympics. I believe everyone should have access to sport. No matter their situation. 

Who was your role model?

My dad, even though he never played football. He has the characteristics of an offensive lineman. A protector, a leader, and is willing to sacrifice his own wants for the success of his family. 

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?

Fintan Brose, a guy who plays with violence. He is quiet but leads through his actions on and off the field.

 What is your biggest pet peeve?

Chalk on a chalk board. 

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

I’d say my coach, even though he’s professionally not a teacher. Coaches and teachers share a lot of characteristics. He is extremely committed to his players by teaching them the game of football at a high level. 

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

When my best friend passed away. He truly showed me the meaning of friendship at a young age and how to be tough, physical and an overall competitor. 

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

Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. Having unlimited steak would be nice. 

What is your favorite snack food?

I’m not much of a snacker, but if anything it would be a bowl of Frosted Flakes. 

What is your degree in?

I have 2 degrees. Finance and Financial Planning & Wealth Management. 

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

LeBron James, Tom Brady, and Tiger Woods. Three phenomenal competitors, and champions. Would be interesting to hear what made them so successful. 

What is your biggest weakness?

My confidence in myself makes me think I have no weaknesses. But if anything being too passionate. Makes me overthink sometimes and sometimes I forget to see the bigger picture.
