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

My main goal for this season was to become a great leader not just defensively but as a team leader. I made sure to look out for all my brothers on and off the field. Making the post season was another huge goal that we accomplished.

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

I put my body on the line for the brother to my right and left and will play every down like it’s my last. Extremely high motor player that
brings the juice. “Heat seeking missile”. Extremely versatile and can plug into multiple positions on defense. Extremely passionate about the game of football and spends hours
and hours watching film.

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

I first look at what l’ve done on a play and what I can do better from a technique and mental perspective. I take notes on each play of what l’ve done well and what I need to improve on. I will also look at each team that we’re going up against that week and look at all the WR’s tendency’s and how they run routes, along with the RB’s and QB’s
tendencies

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

My versatility 100% separates me from other pro prospects. I started 10 games at corner in 2021, and this past season in 2023 I started at safety. I would also be lined up at nickel/outside linebacker this past season and would have to be in the run fit a lot. The amount of time I spend watching film is another aspect I take pride in.

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

My offseason plan is to grind in the weight room and field work. Footwork, position drills, speed training is something that I am going to work on extensivelv as well as train with
experienced trainers.

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

My work ethic is something that will be noticed from day 1 as I am relentless and will do whatever it takes for the team to win. My energy and high motor is something that will stand out along with toughness. On the field I also communicate extremely well. Off the field I am a very outgoing and social guy and will be able to communicate well with my teammates.

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

I put my body on the line every down and play every down like it’s my last and will do whatever it takes to win. I am a very social and outgoing guy to be around and I make sure that all my teammates are good not just with football but I check in to make sure that they’re doing good mentally. I put my heart and soul into this game and will never stop putting my
heart out.
