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

What I think makes me stand out is that I hustle to the ball and I play with heart.

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

A time where I had to handle adversity was when me and my mom were homeless and we were staying with people. But we both have things to do meaning we only have one car my school is 45 mins to drive too. My mom also has to go to work then me having to go to work after practice. So it was a lot but I had to think about the good and the end goal which is to be successful and that tough times don’t last forever.

What are your hobbies outside of football? 

My hobbies outside of football are: I like to play the game, I like to travel, see new places, I enjoy nature and watching movies.

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

The role I see myself playing at the next level is starting out as a role player doing whatever the coach feels like the team needs and then eventually working my way up to be a key piece on the defense.

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

If I could donate to a cause it would definitely be cancer and not necessarily just one kind of cancer but all types of cancer because my grandmother passed away from cancer and my father actually had cancer but he was blessed enough to beat it.

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school? 

Most underrated player on the team I would say LB Zayvion Brady & Coty Chambliss

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

If I could choose three people to talk to dead or alive it would be my grandmother because she played a huge role in my childhood and I would just want to give her a recap of my life and how much of a person I have changed. The second person would be my uncle who passed away in a car crash when I was a kid. I picked him because he was so invested in me telling me I would do big things one day and because of his heart towards others. The third person would be my old highschool & youth football coach. Tellex Lanham I was really close to him growing up. But once I got to my upper classmen year and being in college he really became like a father figure to me especially not having my dad around due to marriage reasons.

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

Me being benched would be because of little things such as lack of focus on small minor things.

Walk me through your typical pre-game routine?

I don’t necessarily have a pregame routine besides praying throughout the day till game time and listening to music and going over my assignments for each play.

What scheme do you feel you fit the best in? 

I feel like I can fit in any scheme but I do like the nickel package defense.

What is your degree in? 

My degree is in Mass Communication and a minor in Graphic Design.

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

My first NFL check I know I probably wouldn’t make a huge amount at first so if anything it would be a couple of outfits or a dog.

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

A time I made a mistake and bounced from it was the first game of the season. I was playing good coverage but I was looking at my man and not the ball and I could have had an interception if I would have gotten my head around. Then the next play I caught an interception.

Name three songs, we can expect on your playlist?
