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

In my final season I broke the C of I’s receiving touchdown record with 11 TD’s and the record for total touchdowns scored with 24 touchdowns. I also received 2nd team all-conference, and 2nd team all American.

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

My coaches and teammates would say I am a tough and physical playmaker, with no fear of either going up for the ball in traffic or flying down into the box to make a block. They would say in moments of pressure I stand up to the occassion and even play some of my best ball during those times. They would also say that I am a person that they love to be around because of my positive attitude and always willing to helps my teammates in whatever they are going through.

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

The first thing that I am watching when I am watching film on myself is paying close attention to my releases and body language at the line because if my body language is different on pass plays compared to run plays that is a huge key the DB can pick up on. When I am looking at my releases, I am looking at my first step and making sure I am moving forward to put pressure on the DB. At that goes for my whole release as well, the more pressure I can put on the DB in the first few steps the more he is going to have to react and decide how he is going to open. Then throughout the route I am watching my shoulder pad height and if it is changing at all before, I’m about to breakdown or if its changing when im running vertical or am I coming straight up. Because those little things are all keys the DB can pick up on and drive the ball better.

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

What separates me from other Pro prospects at WR is that I am a very physical receiver and blocking is a huge part of the game at WR. My route running is another aspect that is going to set me apart from other prospects. With that my speed, acceleration, and changing direction help my route running tremendously and allows me to get in and out of breaks and create separation, while still having the vertical threat there at all times. But what truly sets me apart is my dedication for improvement, and my relentless pursuit to always seek ways to enhance my game to compete at my highest level of competition.

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

At the moment, I am currently training with Taylor Bateman at Off The Field Sports Performance getting ready for the Pro Day at Boise St. I will continue to work on my route running and continue catching the football and doing catching drills so that my hands stay always locked in.

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

I will be bringing my extremly tough work ethic, my attention to detail, my ability to be very coachable, my energy and passion for the team and the sport of football, my resilience and mental toughness, my intelligence of the game, and my versality to play wherever I am needed.

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

My final thoughts are that I have been overlooked my entire football career, but no matter where I have played, I have been a playmaker on every team. I know there are many prospects out there looking for the same opportunity that I am. But I will make you a promise that if you take a shot on me, I will prove you right every single day I step foot in the facility or on the field. All I’m asking for is the opportunity to keep my promise and prove you right.
