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

Although we didn’t win the conference championship my last season at Marshall, I was extremely satisfied with the season. We were able to finish the season with a 5 wins streak and a 9-4 record. I was very happy to win a bowl game with my herd brothers. I love these guys and wouldn’t want to do it with anyone else.

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

When I watch film, I always try to understand the game plan to see what we’re trying to do based on the down / distance. Once I understand the game plan, I can apply it by envision where I would be on the play and how I can be an impact. Usually, I look keys and tendencies from either the quarterback or the running back. It could be the receivers’ split and how they have their feet usually tells a lot.

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

I have the ability to do a little of everything. As a linebacker, I take pride in stopping the run. I believe the way you tackle sets the tone for the whole game. What set me apart is that I have really good coverage skills. I understand different route combinations.

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

I am currently training with Coach Richard at PPF Athletics in Cumming, Georgia.

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

I believe my work ethic and determination will always drive me to succeed. I bring maturity and discipline on and off the field. I’m somebody who you can count to do the right thing.

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

All I need is an opportunity to prove to everyone that I belong on that stage. Whichever team decides to give me that opportunity, they won’t regret it.
