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

Even though Duquesne didn’t put me in the right position to achieve my accomplishments my final season but I made my presence known when I got the opportunity by making big time plays.

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

That he got a dawg mentality in him play after play you will see him by the ball after whistle. Plus his hands are so quick it’s tuff to block him. He will do whatever coaches tell him to see team win when he gets any opportunity. 

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

I focus on ways to get to the QB the fastest in which what moves I can work to get passed opponent offensive lineman. What steps I need to take to do a double swipe, club rip, and even stopping the run taking that double team so I can get to the ball.

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

I believe nobody can stop me and focused my game on stopping the run first. As much as I love pass rushing, I am far more than that. As I’m boosting my one-on-one coverage skills against skilled position, which is where I believe I separate myself from many other players in my position.

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

My offseason plan is to keep up with my fitness routine with my trainer also my workouts alone. Keep up with a healthy diet, and continue watching football to become the best player I can be plus ready for my professional opportunities.

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

I bring a quick motor and get off to put me in the right position to make big time plays in big time moments. Also have the ability to put fear in the the opposing QB game. I try to do all things god plan on and off the field which is doing the right things to take care of my mind,body, and soul while I follow my dreams.

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

I will present you with the best version of myself. My final pitch to all professional leagues would be that I am a player who been enjoying the game for 17+ years and all that it encompasses. I take responsibility for my actions and am willing to learn and master my craft.
