Who is the NFL player you compare yourself the most to? Why is that?
I would say Matt Milano is a guy I would compare myself to the most. Reason being he is 6 foot around 225 pounds and guy that is full go on every play and plays with great downhill presence and doesn’t take his what teams would think be undersized stature effect him.
What aspects of playing in the NFL do you find to be intriguing?
To be playing a kids game I grew up loving you telling me I can play the best game on earth as an adult heck yeah I’m all for it. And also to be able to play in front of fans and family from all over the world.
In what ways have you improved since last season?
I have improved on my lateral speed being able to get out of my breaks and fit downhill at a very high level. Also seeing the ball and always being around it.
What is your favorite memory so far as a college football player?
My favorite memory I would have to say there is two beating Notre Dame at there house and being the nation’s leading solo tackler with (71) and 3 overall combined tackler in the nation (141) this year.
What is the most important thing you would like NFL scouts, coaches and general managers to know about you?
I’m guy that gives it his all every time I’m not afraid to do the dirty work being a core four special teams guy to being able to lead the defense if need to be. I also love being challenged and make it a point to prove people wrong about me.
