Q: What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
The biggest goal I wanted to accomplish and did was the ability to come back from a torn ACL the year prior. That was the first time I ever had a season ending injury and I wanted to make sure I came back 100% and also make the necessary changes to my body composition for when I came back.
Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
I believe coaches and teammates would say I’m a hard nose player. I have an insane motor and I only practice and play the game at 1 speed. It’s hard for me to slow down.
Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
When studying film I really just focus on running back alignments and offensive line surfaces. This past season I had an unbelievable coach who preached keying in on those details. It slows the game down tremendously and you know what set of plays to expect.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
I believe my motor and work ethic. I always was talented but l’ve always been under size so I always had to go about things the right way and focus in on the details that would allow me to showcase my skill set.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
I am still deciding on the location. But I am focused on putting myself in the best position to show scouts I belong in the league at my pro day.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
I feel as though I have a lot of God given talent. I have an insane motor, quick get off, great movement on slants and stunts, active and heavy hands, great strike and a second to none work ethic.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
A dog is gonna be a dog. All I need is an opportunity. Whatever happens after that is on me.
