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

I’ve been a 4-year starter at WR, and I’ve proven I can consistently produce against top competition with reliable hands, precise routes, and the ability to win contested catches. I also contribute as a punt returner/kick returner.

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

I take coaching and always put the team above myself. I love working hard because there is never another option. I’m also a big culture guy who values team chemistry and making sure everyone is bought in. I just love everything that the game of football brings. There is nothing like it.

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

Anything that works toward ending wars and giving kids the chance to grow up without fear. Global peace.

Who was your role model?

My Dad. He played shortstop at Yale and played professionally in the Montreal Expos organization. He taught me what hard work really looks like. Also, I would say Odell Beckham Jr simply because he’s the reason I started playing football. 

Who is your favorite NFL team?

New York Jets.

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?

WR Reed Swanson #0 and DB Justyn Toler #10.

What is your biggest pet peeve?

People that are addicted to their phones.

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

4th grade Mr. Fortin or junior year Ms. Lowell.

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

I’ve been blessed to not have anything truly tragic happen in my life and I’m grateful for that. So I would probably say having my high school senior football season cancelled by COVID. We had just won 3 straight state championships and were going for a four-peat, and having that taken away was tough.

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

Mcdonald’s

What is your favorite snack food?

Gushers. They remind me of my childhood. My cousin Shayne would always have them and we would eat 5 or 6 packs at a time.

What is your degree in?

Educational Studies.

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

1. Playboi Carti – I love music and he’s my favorite ever.
2. Nikola Tesla – I’d ask him about frequencies and vibrations.
3. Bob Marley – He saw life as bigger than money or fame. It was about higher purpose and connecting souls. I feel like we’d have a great conversation.

What is your biggest weakness?

Impatience – I want everything to happen fast. Football has taught me that growth is a long process.
