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

To become an All-American and finish 100% in front of 50 yards. Unfortunately I was only asked to kick 9 field goals and I finished 7-9 of those with one of my misses being a 40 yarder and a 55 yarder. However, I accomplished First Team All-Conference and tied the school record for longest field goal made. 

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

I would be considered the hardest working kicker they’ve ever played with. I never wanted to come play at KWU and be an average kicker. This average, egotistical, and entitled attitude is the reason why kickers are irrelevant in the first place. The stigma behind our position is lazy and unproductive work effort, my peers would attest that I have a hatred for laziness and strive continuously to reach the pinnacle of my craft.

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

Technique, Technique, Technique. Kickers always just go out and kick and think that simply kicking is enough. Yet, they have no idea what technique they should be practicing, nor what bad habits they are consistently doing. I have learned from experience to not over kick in training, study my technique from film, and execute every rep until i not only get it right, but never get it wrong. 

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

I don’t see truly how much work other pro prospects are doing but I guarantee 100% of them do not love nor care for this game as much I do. Training during season is easy, being told to train from coaches is easy. However, what about training on the field 3 times a week paired with plyometrics twice a week, recovery yoga every day and sacrificing hanging out with friends on the weekends and week nights to make sure 8 hours of sleep every night is acquired? Many pro prospects will not say they do this year round and not stop even when you’re not in season. These reasons are why I’m separated from the rest. 

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

My off-season work increases every year because I am constantly learning more about my craft and striving for a bigger and better challenge. I plan to attend my third professional kicking camp in Wisconsin and Arizona this summer at Coach Gary Zauner’s specialist camps and hope to earn my qualification for his free-agent combine next year. 

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

Confidence, Determination, and Persistence. Having these qualities in all positions are good enough to build a Super Bowl winning team. I am just that as a kicker and also as a man outside of the field. Worrying about my seriousness to my recovery and focus for wanting to be the best will never be in question with my teammates or coaching staff. When they sign me, they will already know before hand they are signing a kicker who will not quit until he becomes the best in the world.

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

If you want a quiet kicker that will simply go out, kick a ball, and worry about keeping him confident, then I’m not your kicker. If you want a young man that wants to bring relevancy to the position of kicking like it always should have had with my confidence and persistence for winning then I’m the man for the job and you can find me on a field training regardless if I have a contract or not.
