My offseason plan is to continue to train here at Skegee with some of my teammates and to improve upon my quickness, get stronger, and development better hand fighting techniques.

High Motor, Competitive nature, High F.B.I, Resilient, Adaptability, leadership, willingness to learn.

My pitch to all teams is, I’ve played on the defensive line for eight years, I can thrive in a 3-4 and 4-3 system, and if given an opportunity I will be a great asset to your team. I’m also realistic. If I feel it’s not working out, I’ll be the first one to make a position change. Whatever is going to get my foot in the door.
