What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
I had big team goals set for us and one of them that we achieved was winning the regional championship.
Q: How do you think you took advantage of the extra year of eligibility to increase your chances of going pro?
I think I took advantage of this year by getting out of my comfort zone and being more versatile for the sake of the team because winning is everything to me.
Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
My teammates and coaches would tell you I’m a great person to be around and I’m a high energy guy.
Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
While watching film I’m big on pointing out tendencies from offensive line so I can either key on their weaknesses or know what play is coming from the formation they are in or if anyone gives it away as in looking that direction or cocking their body.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
I feel like what separates me is my ability to handle adversity and take on the task at hand and not shy away from anything this season. I had to switch positions in the middle of it so we could have the best unit possible on the field and I haven’t played it in years, but if it comes down to winning I’ll do whatever is needed.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
I will be working out with a trainer as I’m still in school progressing towards achieving my masters degree in business.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
A strength of mine is definitely the ability to play with my hands and shed blocks when needed.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
I have been an underdog all of my life and I love to prove people wrong and that’s another thing I’ve done my entire life, I’m a hard worker day in and day out you will get my full effort and commitment because I love this game.
