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

What makes me a top prospect at running back in the 2027 NFL Draft is my contact balance, strength, and speed. 

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

A time I faced adversity was in my sophomore year of college. I was being recruited to be a walk on at Florida International University, and when I arrived at the school in the summer, the coach who was recruiting me said there were no more available spots and that I’d have to wait if any spots opened up. Then I waited but continued to train on my own, hitting the gym. The field and ended up waiting all the way until after the season in the spring semester when the walk on tryouts were supposed to be. They ended up cancelling the tryouts, so when I heard that news, I didn’t give up on my football dreams. I re entered my name in the transfer portal and ended up landing at California University of Pennsylvania, had a great career there, and ended up making 2nd team All-Conference after only starting 6 games.   

What are your hobbies outside of football?

My hobbies outside of football are watching sports/movies/shows, movies, and shows,  listening to music, and learning about philosophy

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

I see myself playing as a starting running back while doing whatever the team needs me to do. 

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

I would donate to juvenile rehabilitation centers for all troubled youths around the world. 

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

I am very receptive to coaching and especially criticism. I am someone who performs well with hard, tough love coaching.

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?

The most underrated teammate at my school is Jose Leon. 

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

Michael Jackson, Mike Tyson, Adrian Peterson. I chose those people because they all know how it feels to overcome very challenging situations in their lives and still achieve their goals. Also, Michael Jackson has a beautiful humanitarian view on life that I would love to learn more about from him. 

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

Maybe the coaches saw that I was being too hard on myself, so they sat me so I could get a mental clarity break. 

Walk me through your typical pre-game routine?

I walk a lap around the field barefoot once forward, once backwards, and then jog 1 lap all while listening to Kodak Black on shuffle. 

What is your favorite snack food?

Pretzels

What scheme do you feel you fit the best in?

I feel like I fit best in a gap scheme.

What is your degree in?

My degree is in Sociology & Anthropology 

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

I would buy my parents a home. 

Describe a time in a game where you feel you made a mistake, and explain how you bounced back?

I missed a gap on a counter play last season, and then the next time we ran it, I corrected my mistake and scored a 50 yard touchdown. 

Name three songs we can expect on your playlist?

Hop Out Shoot – Kodak Black, Ain’t Easy- YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Friends & Foes – Gherbo
