What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2025 NFL Draft?

I think I am very versatile. I can kick off, punt and make field goals. My consistency is my strong suit for sure. 

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

I am a hard worker. I consistently work hard to consolidate my skills and craft. I also really value team culture and try to add to it as much as I can. 

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

I have previously done work back home in Australia with Second Bite, a charity that aims to reduce food waste from major supermarkets and provide it to those in need. 

Who was your role model?

Any of the Australians in the NFL. If I had to choose one it would be Cam Johnston. He’s from my local town. Or my coach Tom Hornsey, the former Ray Guy Award winner, the way he talks about punting would make anyone fall in love with it.

Who is your favorite NFL team?

Pittsburgh Steelers. They are the closest team to the university and Cam plays there.

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?

Probably Aidin Parsons. He is an outstanding OL. 

What is your biggest pet peeve?

It is a bit of a silly one, but drivers don’t use their turn signals when making a turn on the road. 

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

My High School sports teacher Mr. Beauchamp. Used to make us all laugh so much in class. It was great

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

The hardest thing I have had to overcome was moving away from my fiance to come and play college football. We have been together for years and lived together back home. So coming over here and not being able to talk all the time was really tough. We have made it through it all now and are both looking forward to the next adventure. 

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

Chick-fil-A. No questions asked. I love their sandwiches and the milkshakes. 

What is your favorite snack food?

My mother-in-law’s brownie. It’s a secret recipe that I am not even allowed to know. 

What is your degree in?

I studied back home and have a bachelor’s degree in Applied Science and a master’s in Physical Therapy. After finishing at Concord, I’ll have a Master’s in Business Administration too. 

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

The first one would be Ricky Ponting. He is one of the most successful Australian cricket captains and batters of all time. The second would be Dustin Martin. He is one of the modern-day greats in the AFL. Finally, it is hard to go past Lebron James. His ability to have played for over 22 years is incredible. 

What is your biggest weakness?

My greatest weakness is not being able to say no to my Mother-in-law’s brownie. I cannot express how good it is. Another weakness of mine is that I am my harshest critic. I am very hard on myself and very demanding of my ability.
