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

I believe my positional versatility makes me a good piece for any secondary. I’ve played CB nickel & safety in multiple schemes and had great production in each spot.

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

My sr year I I had missed multiple games for the first time ever with injury. This caused my playing time and role to be severely reduced.

What are your hobbies outside of football?

Watching football, I don’t have too many hobbies outside of football. Football is pretty much my life. But I do enjoy fishing

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

I see myself as a utility guy that can play anywhere my coach needs me to.

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

Alzheimer’s 

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

I’m always looking to learn so I take all coaching and criticism as help for me improve my game .

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?

Tyler Marrogy 

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

Both of my grandfathers and LeBron. Both of my grandfather’s have passed and I was very close to them so to see them and just have another opportunity to talk to them as a man would be great. Then I chose LeBron because he’s my favorite athlete of all time.

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

Probably for arguing with the ref about a bad holding or pass interference call.

Walk me through your typical pre-game routine?

I’m typically up at 7:30 for breakfast at 8:00 then if it’s a home game I’ll go to the indoor and get a light workout in on the field. Just going through my breaks, technique, & route concepts in my head. Then after my workout we will have a team meeting, and get taped. I will get in the hot tub during taping to get loose & then stretch. After I stretch, I  get my cleats in and hit the field for an individual pre game warmup. After that I go back into the locker room for our team to get ready to take the field for team pregame.After we finish pre game I come back inside meet with the team until kickoff.

Any 4-2-5 defense that utilizes their nickel like Seattle,Kansas City, or Rams

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

Not doing my assignment as the DMRT in Tampa 2 and almost letting up a seam shot down the middle. I got ripped on by my coach but went and executed my assignment perfectly the next series.
