What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2026 NFL Draft?
I bring a rare combination of size, speed, and versatility to the cornerback position. At 6’1”, I can match up physically with bigger receivers, but I also have the speed and fluidity to handle quick, technical route runners. I pride myself on being able to compete against any style of wide receiver.
What is one thing NFL teams should know about you?
I truly take pride in playing the game of football. It gives me peace knowing I did my job on the field. I love the sport and have fun with it, but I approach it with a serious, professional mindset. When I step between the lines, my focus is on preparation, execution, and accountability.
If you could donate to one cause in the world, what would it be?
Global health initiatives. Too many people lose their lives to diseases that are preventable or treatable.
Who was your role model?
My dad. He shows up to work every day without excuses, no matter how tired he is. Watching his consistency and work ethic taught me what responsibility and discipline look like.
Who is your favorite NFL team?
Miami Dolphins.
Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?
Justin Payoute.
What is your biggest pet peeve?
I’m not much of a talker so I’d say people who talk too much .
Who is your favorite teacher ever?
I don’t have a specific favorite teacher.
Overcoming adversity is what defines character. What was the hardest moment in your life to overcome?
Going through surgery and having to be on crutches while still trying to handle my responsibilities. It took real mental toughness to stay disciplined, stay positive, and work my way back to being myself both physically and mentally.
If you could have any franchise restaurant in your house, what would it be?
McDonald’s — easily. Anyone who knows me knows I’m choosing McDonald’s over anything.
What is your favorite snack food?
My favorite snack & food would be cookies & macaroni
If you could have dinner with three people, dead or alive, who would it be and why?
- Kevin Hart – I’d want to understand how he creates his jokes and ask about his approach to acting and creativity.
- LeBron James – I’d ask how he stays mentally focused and driven after being under pressure and expectations since he was 16 years old. His mindset is something I could learn a lot from.
- Beyoncé – It’s Beyoncé. No explanation needed.
What is your biggest weakness?
From a personal standpoint, when I strongly feel a certain way about something, even if I’m wrong, it can take me time to recognize it clearly.
