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

At the beginning of the season I told myself that I wanted to be the guy that my teammates can always count on. Whether that’s breaking a long TD run, making a key block, or even getting a much needed 1st down. Being able to come through for my team whenever they need me is something that i was able to pride myself on this season.

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

My coaches and teammates would say that I am a very determined guy. Whenever I set my mind to achieving something, I won’t stop until I achieve it. Being determined to achieve goals for myself is what has given me the edge in my college career.

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

When I watch film on myself, I pay close attention to every possible hole that may open up during the play. This helps slow the game down and makes me more aware of everybody on the field.

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

The main thing that helps separate me from other players is my versatility. I can line up at any skill position on offense and make an immediate impact. I have always taken pride in being known as a an athlete that can do it all. My ambition is also another thing that separates me from other. My goal is to be known as the best at what I do, and I won’t rest until that is clear.

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

I plan on hiring a personal trainer that will help me get better on all aspects of my game. I plan on staying in Ohio to work out, but leaving the state is still a possibility. I plan on training at least 5 days a week and keeping my endurance up.

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

On the field, my explosiveness and big play ability will stand out. I’ve always taken pride in being able to make a big play at any given moment in the game. Being able to completely change the momentum has always been a strength of mine. Off the field, my loyalty to the game will stand out. Every decision that I make is based on if this will benefit me on the football field. Football has been loyal to me my whole life, so I will continue to be loyal to it.

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

Being a professional football player has been my goal since I was 5 or 6 years old. I have always wanted to compete against the best just so I can make a statement. Any team that decides to take me will be getting a player that is 100% dedicated and motivated. My ambition and love for this game will always keep me from being satisfied. My goal is to not only become a professional football player, but STAY a professional football player. I’ve seen too many people get a chance at the highest level of football and waste the opportunity. I will always make the most of any opportunity I get.
