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

My goals for the season were 100 total tackles and 10 TFLS. An also led the conference in tackles again and statically led the nation in tackles, TFLS, and turnovers. I ended up leading the CCIW in tackles with 116. I had 12.5 TFLS on the season. I also led the nation in solo tackles with 80. I finished 5th in the nation in fumble recoveries. I am very proud of my personal success this season.

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

My coaches and teammates will say I am a first-class leader who can lead vocally and by example. Who is also always studying film, in the weight room, or encouraging teammates.

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

When studying myself, I study my footwork and technique and think about what I would do based on down and distance. When studying opponents, I figure out their tendencies, top formation, and plays and read their guards and centers. Doing this will allow me to identify things that could happen pre-snap and put me in the best position to make a play.

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

My leadership, dedication, determination, and resilient effort on and off the field set me apart from other pro prospects. In the weight room and on the field, I give myself and my teammates the best opportunity to succeed. I can play in or out of the box as a linebacker while being able to blitz and play man coverage.

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

I plan to continue working on and off the field. I will continue pushing weights in the weight room and working on my flexibility and explosiveness. I will also continually work on my technique, speed, endurance, block destruction, coverage, and footwork.

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

The strengths and abilities I will bring to a team that will stand out on and off the field are my leadership skills, determination, and willpower to strive to become the best player I can be. I can fit the run-and-play coverage, take on double teams, and play man coverage on slots, RB, or Tight ends. Whatever you need, I can do it.

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

I am a team player who loves football and will do anything in my power to help the team succeed. I can make big plays and play all different fronts, movements, and coverages based on my ability to play in or out of the box, man coverage, or blitz.
