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

Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
They always say I’m an outstanding player and leader on the field, but even a better leader and man off the field.
Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
I focus on the things I I need to improve in order to not have any weaknesses in my game and also I work to improve my strengths as well. I’m always working to get better due to complacency not being an option. Also, I watch film on my opponent to know what they are going to do such as keys to watch for when the defense may be blitzing or twisting. If I have an understanding and can anticipate what’s coming, it allows me to play faster and with more confidence which will lead to success each play.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
I think what truly separates me is what some may think is adversity which is coming from a small school. Coming from a smaller school causes me to have to work harder and do more to get the exposure I need to make it out and I was in this situation in high-school coming into college and I worked hard to get to where I needed to be and now I’m on the same journey being led by God to get where I want to be and where He wants me to be. I truly believe my work ethic, determination to get better, faith, and leadership truly separates me from others.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
I have been blessed to currently be training with Scott Lashley Performance. Not only looking to reach a new physical peak but expand my game from a knowledge and technical standpoint as an offensive lineman.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
You will get an Amazing leader with an unselfish winning mentality who is always looking to get better and never become complacent with any success.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
I’m truly a leader who loves the game and team enough to hold players accountable and unselfish enough to understand that everything is not about me. I’m willing to do whatever it takes to help the team become successful on and off the field while bringing others along with me. Take a chance on me and I promise you will not regret it.
