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

The Goals I set this past season alongside setting myself up to have a tremendous run game to help us win games while getting myself to get to the next level. With a new coaching staff in a new program was to really help the organization build a culture an be a leader so that I would be a great part of the Rebuild.

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

A real Dawg not just 1 or 2 plays but every play he is trying to run through someone’s face and fight for extra yards. A leader that makes and impact on anybody on and off field that I come across.

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

Honestly I look at the opponents linebackers and secondary to see if they are to par to tackle a guy like me, if their small or not making those one on one tackles I know I can have a great game. My guys up front just have to do their job.

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

I have real enthusiasm and tenacity when it comes to football because this is my only way I know I’ll be able to provide for my family. I won’t be denied on those goals line and clutch 4&1 plays. I also can catch block and pretty fast for my size many guys can’t do be as versatile!

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

Well so far I’ve been training myself and doing stuff wherever I am and back home my highschool rb coach has experience and he is also the track coach so I’ll definitely still be getting right until I get an agent that can help me pay for the real training I can go to in Atlanta or Texas.

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

I graduated with business degree from the University of South Alabama and my first semester at Mississippi Valley I made the deans list while finishing the second with 3.9 GPA. My mentality is unmatched I can get everyone fired up I also play all special teams and I bring that same energy as if I am at RB because I’m still on the field and it’s an opportunity.

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

I’m a guy you need on the team. I’m an instant leader and a guy that you can trust on the field in game or on practice squad. I just want to continue to make my family happy and continue to provide for them because I’m the one that has to make it happen and anyone that has watched me play, coached me or been around me knows I can play at the professional level.
