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

I Wanted to have a strong and healthy season with minor injuries and that’s what I did.

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

Some of my teammates and coaches would call me a very aggressive and forceful player. I adopted that mentality on the field and they know what to expect of me every play.

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

The first thing I look at when watching my film are my feet. Those first two steps are crucial when attacking the defender. After that would be hat placement and hands, putting my body in good position to take DL where I want him to go.

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

What separates me is my knowledge and understanding of the position I play. I play a very unnatural and violent position. I know that my role is to put myself on the line so that my team can win. I’m an enforcer, that’s the style I have adopted.

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

I plan to work on my quickness off the ball, so I plan on adding a lot of explosive training to my workouts. Being able to have great second step quickness is important at my position. One of my priorities are to completely heal and strengthen my body from the past season.

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

One thing about me is that I have my brothers back. I try to be as real and authentic as I can be. I bring a lot of good energy to almost everything I do. I know how to play my role and do my job. I’m a people’s person, so I don’t have problems connecting with people from different backgrounds.

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

I have a great understanding of the game and the position I play. As an offensive lineman I play one of the most unnatural positions you can play on the field. I take pride in my role I play. And I do my job to the very best of my ability. I am a very coachable player, and easily learn on the spot. I know how to translate film meetings to the field. I play with speed and aggression in everything I do. When it comes down to how you want your offensive lineman to approach the game, I feel that I display it in my game.
