Q: What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?

After my junior season was over going into my senior season I told myself that I needed to finish strong and leave everything I had on the field. Which I did and got all conference. I also accomplished continuing to be a leader on the team not being a bad example and holding my composure. Showing good character goes a long way.

Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?

Approachable player on and off the field my guys know anything they need and I’ll be there for them no matter who you are. They know I’m a coachable player and that I’m a relentless guy. My guys also know that no matter how cool we are, if I feel you’re not doing something right for the best of the team, I will hold you accountable. I’m outgoing and have great energy.

Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?

The main thing I focus on as a defensive tackle is if an O lineman shows any tendencies of where they are going or if he blocks a certain way. I also look for if they’re physical or not to determine if I can beat them with speed or just go v of the neck through their chest. I also look at schemes on what there running if I watch it multiple times in a game it will be like slow motion for me because already know what coming.

Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?

With my relentless work ethic, I believe everything matters I’m a player who’s not going to settle for less, and in every level of football I played I’ve always kept that standard and stood by it. I also say my strength and the way I react to specific blocks I get I can quickly get them off me.

Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?

Right now I’ve been focusing on flexibility, strength training, and cardio. Working out 6 days a week with one day off to recover just being ready for that one call and opportunity.

Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?

One thing about me that I will bring to a team no matter what the morale is, is energy and relentless effort. Showing up every day yelling and just doing my 1/11 but also having fun is just amazing to me. Off the field, I want to inspire the youth and teach them confidence and knowledge.

Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?

If you make this investment in me you won’t regret it.
