Q: What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
I set goals to take the Frontier Conferences and put my schools name back in the winning conversations. Becoming a starter my senior season was one of my best accomplishments as I worked and sacrificed a lot to be in this position.
Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
My coaches and teammates would say I’m a true leader. Not going to tell someone to do something I have not done. Being awarded most inspirational player meant a lot to me, coming from a team where you have a number of players sacrificing and putting their time in to be the best. It meant a lot to me to hear that I inspired them. I also feel they would talk about how coachable and hard working I am.
Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
When studying film I like to watch for QB and Oline tendencies. What does the QB do before every pass play, does he have a favorite WR. Does he grab his towel or lick his fingers before a pass play. Does the online have a slide tendency. Try to pick up on where the RB like to insert himself when it comes to pass pro. Identify which guard likes to pull more than the other..
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
What separates me is the want to that I have to make the plays that counts. I’m big on having a strong IQ and awareness for game management. Being able to tackle the ball carrier and getting the ball back to my offense.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
No special resources over here. Training daily with a coach who just loves the grind and loves the commitment. Coach Dan is a trainer at my university and he really does the hard work on the back end and couldn’t thank him enough for it. Location Southern Oregon University.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
I will bring leadership and motivation to get up everyday and chase a championship. Having great communication skills I know that to reach people on your team and staff you have to have different approaches. 1) I will show hard work 2) I will show dedication 3)I will show that I care 4) I will show results. In football you have to have your brothers back and once we all get on that page, the sky is the limit.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
I guarantee when you pick me to be a part of your team, you will be getting my best everyday. I don’t like losing and everyday is a day to get better. I’m comfortable playing in the box as well as outside on the Edge, and over a WR. Let’s go get a championship.
