What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2027 NFL Draft?

I have great size and speed and I am a versatile player that has experience in a lot of situations and positions.

Tell me about a time you faced adversity and how you responded?

Going through injuries in camp before last season, I have some hamstring aggravation that limited me in practice and I was down on myself about not being fully healthy before my last season of college. I had to take a minute to realize my situation and make the best of it. I spent all my free time in the training room and studying plays to help put myself in the best position to contribute to the team once I was healthy. 

What are your hobbies outside of football?

I watch movies and play video games 

What role do you see yourself playing at the next level?

As a trusted receiver at any point in the game on any down, also a special teams factor. 

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

Cancer research and relief

How do you handle coaching, especially criticism or being corrected repeatedly?

I handle criticism well, I try not to take anything too personally and that’s been easy with the coaches I’ve had at Youngstown because I know the expectations they had for me and that they set the bar high because they want the best out of me.

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?

Youngstown has a roster full of players with potential to play the game at a very high level. The receiver room always has high expectations 

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

Jesus Christ because i try to model my life after him, LeBron because I respect his game and the effort he puts into being an athlete and my grandma 

If you were benched tomorrow, what would be the most likely reason?

I don’t think I have any reason to be benched

Walk me through your typical pre-game routine?

Get out to the field early, call my family and pray with them while I walk the back line of the endzone then warm up and do ball drills before the team warms up. 

What is your favorite snack food?

Sour path kids 

What scheme do you feel you fit the best in?

Spread or Pro-style 

What is your degree in?

General studies but i also studied exercise science and sports management at my 2 previous schools 

What would be the first thing you buy with your first NFL check?

A house with a lot of land

Describe a time in a game where you feel you made a mistake, and explain how you bounced back?

Last year in my first rep on special teams I almost missed my assignment because of a bad angle in my drop and  after I went to the sideline watched the film and corrected it on the next rep.
