Q: What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
• Have over 1000 receiving yards

• Win Conference and National championship
• My accomplishment from this past season was second team all conference.
Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
Hard working and always challenging teams to be better.
Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
When studying film I’m always looking at the DBs leverage, if there a hands on player.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
What separates me is my speed and acceleration. I’ve been running 4.3 40 since a junior in high school. But I’m also very dangerous with the ball in my hand like a Deebo Samuel type of player with Tyreek Hill speed.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
I plan on working out at Grossetti Performance this off-season for my draft prep. He’s trained NFL athletes such as Geno Stone on the Ravens.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
I will bring versatility to any team that picks me up. I can go in the backfield as a RB and take carries, or you can line me up in the slot and win the mismatch between the nickel or linebacker.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
For any NFL, CFL, or XFL team come get a ball player who only passion in life is football. This game is all I’ve known since I was 6 years old, and I’m elite at it. Once you put that ball in my hand I will do positive thinks for your team. Like I said earlier I can line up as a RB, WR, and I’m very dangerous in the return game.
