Q: What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
As coming in from Alabama State University as a grad transfer. My goal was to become the best person I can be, not just on the field but also in the classroom, and to really get familiar with the playbook. Another one was to lead this team to a conference championship, it was a tough season, and we came up short but we didn’t give up and we finished our last game off with a win.
Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
They would say that I am a very competitive player and always try to do the right things and lead by example. They would say I want this guy on my team because he will give you his all and not give up.
Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
When studying film, I always study my opponent. I wanna be able to know how he moves, what his weakness is, does he like to hit low or high because studying your opponent will give you the advantage of knowing how to react when it’s game time. This is how you can play faster and know what’s about to happen. Watching films is very important, it helps me to increase my knowledge and to be the best player I can be on the field.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
I think what makes me a top pro prospect in this daft is that I am a versatile running back. Not only knowing what my job is but also reading the defense game scheme. Also reading my offensive line knowing who they have to block and them communicating with me to pick up the mike Biltz or DB Biltz. This gives me the opportunity to play faster and make explosive plays.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
I will be training in Tampa Florida. Working on all my weaknesses and also a lot of speed training while also trying to put on more weight throughout my training.
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 the type of player that is always down to help and pass on my knowledge to others so we as teams or players can be on the same page. Even off the field, I’m willing to get together and watch films and increase my knowledge by them also giving the knowledge that they have which can be very powerful.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
I promise you will get my all and everything I bring to the table. Just need the opportunity to prove to the world how great of a football player I am.
