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

Some goals that I set for my last collegiate season was to play every game like it was my last. To go out there with a chip on my shoulder and leave everything out there. In this game you never know when it’s going to be taken from you whether that’s through injuries or just your time runs out. That was my main goal going into my final 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 leader by example and an energizer bunny. I would believe that they would say that I am a leader and role model for the younger guys who are always be able to help answer their question about the package and or just help the freshman guys get through when they are homesick. The energizer bunny comes from my high motor. My position coach has told me countless times that hes never seen anyone with a motor like mine.

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

I focus on habits that an offensive coordinator gets into. Going through the starting down plays all the way to 3rd and short. Just trying to get a read on when a coach likes to call what plays. Understanding when is a team’s run down, shot plays, and who they rely on getting the ball. The second thing I focus on the most is what kind of route concepts are we going to see, and where their quarterback likes to get the ball to. Looking at habits, tell signs, and even what a receivers tempo is going to be.

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

What separates me from other pro prospects is my versatility. Being able to play numbers to numbers in the post, to coming down and playing man in the slot, to even being a run fitter in the box. Being able to disguise from your zone to your man to man. Being able to put me in the box and run with motions but still play zone. Not only can I be moved around within my position but I am also a big special teams guy. During my time at Missouri State I played on every single special teams. So being able to run down and cover to making the block that springs a touchdown on kickoff return. That is what separates me from other pro prospects.

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

My plan this offseason is to polish my man to man technique and to deepen my tool box. Obviously becoming bigger faster stronger in the process. Having multiple tools in the box makes it harder for wide receivers to get tells on you so the deeper I can get that the easier the transition to the pros will be. I also plan on training with an ex XFL guy named Dieon Holliman to work on my explosiveness, flexibility, and overall speed. So when the opportunity comes I’ll be ready to put up some serious numbers.

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

Something that I will be able to bring to a team on and off the field is my work ethic. Something that I like to pride myself in is being one of the hardest and best workers in everything I do. I try to make sure that I am doing the right thing whether anyone is looking or not. I think its really important to have guys like this because I think it rubs off on other teammates and really helps show the discipline a team/player has.

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

I would like to say that motivation will never be a problem for me. Motivation isn’t just about pushing harder; it’s also about adapting to change and being receptive to coaching. I bring a coachable attitude and a willingness to learn, recognizing that growth is a continuous process. My motivation is not just self-centered; it’s driven by a desire to contribute to the team’s success in any way possible.
