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

I would honestly say that I’m one of the top because I feel as if I’m a hidden gym. I’m a back that can do it all, catch out of the backfield, make people miss & also stand up in pass pro. I feel like backs in the league now are more versatile so I could bring that versatility to any team that gets me.

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

They should know that I’m a hard worker with great passion and love for the game. I would also want them to know I’m the kind of kid they’d want to take a chance on even with the lack of film and everything. They will be getting everything out of me each and everyday no matter if that’s on offense or special teams.

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

I would love to donate to families that are just less fortunate, kids with single parents that are doing all that they can to try and give their kids the best life. Sometimes things don’t always shake out the right way no matter how hard you try so this cause would just uplift me in a lot of ways. This would also just keep kids from going down the wrong path thinking that they have to try and help support their household.

Who was your role model?

My parents were my role models, having me a teens and them doing everything they could to provide for me each and every day. 

Who is your favorite NFL team?

I was never a one team guy, I always had favorite players spread all over the league. Growing up it was guys like Marshawn Lynch, Adrian Peterson, Desean Jackson, Micheal Vick, & Julio Jones. 

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?

The most underrated player on my team was a corner that we had named Peyton Taylor.

What is your biggest pet peeve?

I really don’t have many, I just don’t like when people smack while eating.

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

I have had a lot of great teacher from elementary, middle school, high school, even to my professors in college. I would have to go with my kindergarten teacher Ms. Jackson.

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

I would just say being from a small town where there wasn’t much recruiting done, being able to get myself on some FBS radars and still ultimately fulfilling my goal of playing at the division 1 level. 

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

This is a hard question honestly, I think I would go with Qdoba. 

What is your favorite snack food?

My favorite snack to eat are skittles.

What is your degree in?

My major is in Sports Management & minor in Business Administration.

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

I would say God, my grandfather, & probably someone like Micheal Jackson. I say God because just talking to him would put a lot more at ease on my heart, asking why certain situations happen the way they do and just a better understanding of life. My grandfather is just to tell him how much we love and miss him, give him updates on how things been without him and just see how he has been. I chose Micheal Jackson honestly because I was a big fan of his when I was a kid and I still am so just to meet the King of Pop would be great.  

What is your biggest weakness?

I would say that route running is something that I could work on being better at. Just being able to make them more crispy as well as my hands in pass pro.
