What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2026 NFL Draft?
My ability to gain ground quickly and play sideline to sideline sets me apart at my position. I excel at avoiding blocks in the open field and securing tackles using proper leverage. I take pride in being a reliable open field tackler who can finish plays in space. What truly makes me a top prospect is my versatility. I can match up in coverage against receivers and tight ends while also being a physical presence in the box.
What is one thing that NFL teams should know about you?
I’m built for adversity. I’ve never been a guy to complain during hardships, injuries, or competition. I always find a way to respond with a positive mindset and come back stronger.
If you could donate to one cause in the world, what would it be?
It would be to natural disaster relief. So many communities are affected by hurricanes, floods, and wildfires, and I’d want to help people recover and rebuild.
Who was your role model?
My role models are my parents. They did an excellent job in raising me into the man I am today and I wouldn’t be in the position I’m in without them.
Who is your favorite NFL team?
Jacksonville Jaguars
Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?

Ungrateful people
Who is your favorite teacher ever?
My welding instructor Kevin Chow. He really pushed me to be a perfectionist when it came to welding. I’m glad I get to carry those tendencies to football and other aspects of my life.
Overcoming adversity is what defines character, what was the hardest moment in your life to overcome?
The hardest moment in my life to overcome was when I broke my wrist playing junior football. The injury came with healing complications that kept me out for most of two seasons. It was tough being away from the game, but it taught me patience, discipline, and how to stay mentally strong through adversity.

Cactus Club Cafe

What is your biggest weakness?
Sometimes I let my pride takeover and push myself through injuries when my body needs a rest.
