Q: What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
The goals I set for my final season was to become an All-Conference safety, because I knew if I played good enough to do that I was doing my part for the team to be successful. I was able to accomplish that goal of being an All-Conference safety. I was also able to lead the league in interceptions with 5.
Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
They would say I am hard working, technical, and that I have a team first mentality.
Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
I look for their favorite formations, and run/pass concepts they did against teams with a similar defense as ours. This gives me an edge on what they will probably try and attack us with, I like to help cripple them of their go to plays.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
I would say the work ethic, knowledge of the game, and the amount of film prep I do before each game. Also, not letting the moment get too big.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
I will be training here at Findlay with my strength coach getting myself prepared for any opportunity that presents itself.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
Being able to play multiple safety positions deep, and in the slot. While also being able to fit the run very well. Also I am a great communicator on and off the field helping me to be better as a person and ball player.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
You will not be disappointed if you give me the opportunity. You will get a hard working, dedicated player that’s can bring some explosiveness to your defense.
