What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2026 NFL Draft?

My ability to consistently make big plays. I create separation from defenders to be a friendly target for my quarterback and maintain being deceptive within my routes to keep the defenders guessing.

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

I’m versatile and resilient. I’m willing to go anywhere on the field to help my team win. I bring great energy to the game and I don’t stop till the clock hits double 0’s. 

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

I would donate to the homeless. I’d try to take care of the people in need around me so the community could eventually grow. Once that happens, the community has a foundation to then donate to even more. I would put awareness out on the matter to create a domino effect where more and more people are joining along with the cause and being helped by it as well.

Who was your role model?

Allen Iverson

Who is your favorite NFL team?

Las Vegas Raiders

Ellis Reed

What is your biggest pet peeve?

Not following through with what you say.

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

Dr. Blevins (Campbellsville University)

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

Having to take a step away from football to take care of matters back home. Parents going through a divorce, dealing with my mother going to prison, family members passing away, and having to work multiple jobs at the same time was an overwhelming hardship I endured and overcame. It was difficult in the moment but I believe going through those experiences developed me in to the man I am today.

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

Panda Express, orange chicken all day!

What is your favorite snack food?

Sour Mike n Ike’s

What is your degree in?

Liberal Arts & Science 

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

Tupac Shakur, Anthony Bourdain, & Kendrick Lamar. The “game” I would be able to pick up from these individuals would be invaluable. Plus, we’d be eating the best food, in an interesting environment, listening to the best music.

What is your biggest weakness? 

Overthinking
