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

My goals were to make it to the FCS playoffs, make the All-Conference and All-American list. Another goal of mine was to get 5 interceptions.

Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?

Can’t speak for them, but I would say they’ll tell you that I’m a hard working guy that comes to work everyday.

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

I look at the WRs that I am going to be going against and try to get a feel for what they do on run plays so I know what kind of player they are. I also look the at formations that the offense is in the most and what the down and distance is. I also look for the plays that they are running in those formations.

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

I can play my position plus the rest in the secondary. I also can say I love special teams.

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

I am going to find a facility to train at and focus on improving my 40 time, vertical, 5-10-5, and broad jump. I’m also going focus on getting stronger and make sure I’m taking care of my body.

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

I am versatile. I can play all positions in the secondary and I love to play on special teams. That makes me a very valuable player. Off the field, I plan on making an impact in the community wherever I land anyway I can. Especially during breast cancer awareness month.

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

I want to tell them that they are getting a diamond in the rough. I worked to get where I am at today and will continue to work to win championships and be one of the greatest to do it.
