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

I am an elite route runner and pass catcher who can also block in the box. 

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

Vs Dartmouth I missed a ball that ended up being tipped to the safety for an INT. I immediately made my peace with my mistake and later in the game I ended up catching my second touchdown of the game.

What are your hobbies outside of football? 

Outside of football I like to engage in my faith, hangout with family and friends, and learn. 

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

To start I see myself fitting into the role of earning my stripes but eventually working into a leader of a team and a guy the team can rely on. 

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

I want to donate to the Catholic church, supporting all that they do. 

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

I try my best not to take it personally and humble myself. This allows me to hear the critiques and take it for what it’s worth.

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school? 

Stephen Scourtis is one of the more underrated guys on our team. He is not a loud guy but works extremely hard and has made insane improvements over his time here at Harvard. He will be a big contributor this year for us. 

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

Jesus Christ, Blessed Virgin Mary, St Paul. These are the most influential people of the world and Christianity. 

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

If I were benched tomorrow, the most likely reason would be for blocking. I still have a lot to gain in that area of my game. 

Walk me through your typical pre-game routine?

Pregame, I like to stretch and go out to the field to warm the body up and do some hand-eye work to engage my brain and CNS. Then I like to go catch some balls before suiting up. Then I pray and get my mind right for the game. 

What is your favorite snack food? 

Fruits, such as pineapple, mango, and strawberries.

What scheme do you feel you fit the best in? 

I fit best in a spread offense that likes to move the TE around and utilize the mismatch matchup. 

What is your degree in? 

I am majoring in economics.

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

The first thing I buy will be some sort of investment, not exactly sure what yet.
