Q: What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
Every goal going into the season is to come out a better athlete than before. I feel like all the practices matter more than the game. The number of hours spent practicing trump game time hours.

Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
What my opponent if doing. Where the tailback is lined up what formations the OC likes to run the most. What run/pass concepts would I see out of those formations to know how much time I have to make moves.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
My ability to have consistent discipline. Because how you do one thing is how you do everything.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
Continue proper weight training as well as cardio exercises that reflect actual game style scenarios.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
Being able to be self aware and know that there is always room for improvement and there is always time to make those improvements. The standard is the standard. I can as well easily eliminate distractions that allow me to focus on my craft.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
Thank you for your time and consideration. God Bless.
