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

What’s makes me a top prospect is my production from being out for 2 seasons. I had to start from scratch and play catch up with everyone else. Even with certain circumstances I learned how to dial in after my first year back didn’t come out with the results I wanted. After certain sacrifices and trusting my process, I came out with the results I wanted. 

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

One of the things the NFL should know about me is that honesty is the number one thing I value the most. Why I value that is because not everyone likes the truth but the truth is greatest key to being successful in whatever you do.

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

One thing I would donate to is a fair and humane legal system for inmates. This means advocating for a system where prisoners are treated with dignity and recognized as human beings. There needs to be greater awareness and care surrounding prison reform, as inmates are often dehumanized. This lack of awareness contributes to serious issues such as poor food safety, inadequate hygiene, and insufficient healthcare within prisons.

Who was your role model? 

I never had a role model, but the one person I would say is my family. My family played a certain role in my life to show me the man I want to be. 

Who is your favorite NFL team?

My favorite nfl is the Houston Texans. 

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?

No one. Everyone plays a role for our team. Everyone stepped up to the plate when needed.

What is your biggest pet peeve? 

My biggest pet peeve is repeating myself.

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

When I was at ASU My favorite teachers were 3 people. Herm Edward, Antonio Pierce and Rob Rodriguez. 

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

My hardest moment was my testimony. I’m not embarrassed of my story but it shaped me the man I am today. My 1st step was being accountable for my actions. And as a man I had to learn to start from scratch after losing everything I lost. 

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