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

Some of the goals I set out where to break two school records and get my 3rd All Conference Selection in 4yrs. Which I accomplished all of those through my senior year. I broke the school record (All-Time) for career reception leader, and the school’s (DII Era) career touchdown Leader.

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

They would say I’m a difference maker and a play-maker on the field and off the field they would say I’m a Leader and a role model that they could look up too.

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

When I start watching film I’m checking for the whole defenses favorite coverages to run on certain downs, so I can put myself in the best position possible before I get into the game. One other thing I look for is what is their favorite tendencies? What are they comfortable doing? Knowing those things will put me in the best position to succeed.

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

Being able to play in the cold (Snow, Rain) Etc. IQ and my route running, I understand all coverages which gives me a advantage over my opponent because I know where the holes are at in the coverage and that will only help the QB make faster and better decisions. And I can run any route in the route tree from inside to outside.

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

Still critiquing myself and watching film and better my weaknesses which turn into strengths over time, and become more faster. I will be working out at CTSP Sports Performance in Louisville, Kentucky with Corey Taylor who will be preparing me for my Pro Day/Tryouts.

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

I’m a natural born leader, IQ, work ethic, confidence, I play Special Teams, Punt return, not just a returner, Kickoff Return and Punt. I understand how important these teams are and how they can change a game. Off the field, my personality and character.

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

My final pitch is I’m ready for any opportunity that comes my way. I’ve been working my whole life for this opportunity, and you’re getting a player that is coachable and always willing to learn.
