Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
I focus on all the little things. Obviously, knowing the backfield set tendencies and formation tendencies are a must, but understanding how a tackle sets in a run vs a pass play is huge. Noticing how a tackle sets and what moves he is vulnerable to.

All-American, Academic All American, NSIC Defensive Player of the Year, and the Glen Galligan Award.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?

Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
With my past achievements, I feel it is only the beginning of what I can accomplish.
