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

I believe my ability to read a defense along with ball placement and timing is what would make me a top prospect as a qb. 

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

My sophomore year of high school I fractured my back in fall camp. 5 weeks later I was able to come back and win a state championship.  

What are your hobbies outside of football?

My hobbies outside of football are surfing, playing pickleball, and traveling. 

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

At the next level I can see myself being a guy who works his way up the depth chart with hard work, making plays, and being a great teammate. 

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

I would donate to homeless shelters, especially ones with veterans.  

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

I believe I handle coaching very well, I was always taught that if a coach is being hard on you or constantly correcting you then that means they care. 

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?

The most underrated teammate at my school is Quincy Drummer. He is our running back and always is ready to compete no matter what, he brings out the competitive side of everyone every day. 

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

Tom Brady, Joe Burrow, and Aaron Rodgers. I believe these 3 guys would be able to teach me priceless tips on how to be a great qb and more importantly leadership. 

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

Injury 

Walk me through your typical pre-game routine?

I keep it pretty simple, usually walk into the training room to get taped or whatever I need for that game. Then I go over the game script in my head one last time. After that walk over to all my olineman, make sure they’re feeling good and ready. Lastly, head out to the field for warmups. 

What is your favorite snack food?

Goldfish

What scheme do you feel you fit the best in?

I feel I fit the best in a pro style offense because I can be in shotgun or under center, and am able to command the offense while making the plays necessary to win. 

What is your degree in?

Business Finance 

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

Investments 

Describe a time in a game where you feel you made a mistake, and explain how you bounced back? Last year against Wisconsin River Falls I missed a post that could have potentially scored and my miss resulted in a 3 and out. I bounced back by having a career day and scoring every drive after that missed opportunity. 

Name three songs, we can expect on your playlist?

Tennessee Whiskey, Homecoming, and Cudi Zone
