Q: What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
After two seasons as a starter, my personal goal was to make the league all-conference team for the second time in my career.
Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
That all things considered, I work hard. Whatever the situation, games or practice, I promise to give it my all for you.
Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
Since my primary position is outside linebacker, I would pay attention to what they wanted to do on each play based on the down and distance. In particular, I would pay close attention to their tackles to see if I could gain an advantage over them whether they ran or passed.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
Anyone who truly knows me can ask. I’ve only started for two of my five years at West Virginia State, for instance. Rather of simply complaining about my personal circumstances or using the transfer portal, I continued to work hard to earn my position and got the most out of it.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
Work Work Work! I’ll tell you straight up. Not everything is planned out exactly, but I have right people supporting me to achieve my professional goals.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
For the majority of my career, I played outside linebacker. As well as having sideline to sideline speed, I’ve held my own against linemen who weigh over 100 pounds and more.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
I’ve been in love with this game since the beginning, and my feelings have never changed. I prepare my meals and train for this sport. I truly enjoy things like this. I cherish everything about this game, and I’ll do anything to keep playing it at any position.
