Q: What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
My goal of the season was to get the first win in program history at the school & to make all conference honors. I was able to accomplish 1 out of the 2 in getting the first win in program history.
Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
You would be told that i am extremely hardworking & a huge critic of myself. Im my hardest critic & my biggest motivator. I lead by example & bring an energy that my teammates feed off of. I try to motivate my teammates to be the best version of themselves. Which will also make me the best version of myself. Iron sharpens iron.
Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
Film study for me gives me the opportunity to view myself outside of my own perspective. I take into account a-lot of technique, play study, & personnel study. Knowing what you are going to get from who you got in front of you is key to your play recognition.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
IQ & work ethic. Everyone at this level is talented & gifted. But not everyone has the IQ or work ethic to be great. I believe i have both. My preparation before the game helps in game IQ & your work ethic drives that. It all works hand & hand.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
I train hard consistently to stay ready for any and every opportunity that comes my way. Im in the gym 4 days a week, on the field 3 days a week, & studying football everyday. The work to be great never stops.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
My character speaks for itself. Im a high character guy, raised old school. Respectful to all, loving & caring about the people around me. That helps with team chemistry while also keeping a positive look off the field. My mind is the strength always. I see it happen in my mind 1 million times before it happens on the field. So when that moment comes, i will capitalize.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
My final pitch would be this. Im not going to say what every other pro prospect would say. “Im a great player & a game changer who will bring something great to any league i play in.” We know this already. What you are getting from me is a genuine hard working man who does his job to the best of his abilities & will do what is asked of him to make sure the team benefits even when the individual is not. Im am all about winning at any cost, & i will not accept the bare minimum. I will give you everything i have in me to make a positive impact to help an organization be successful. That will be done with immense hard work, lots of discipline, & damn will to win.
