Q: What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
The goal that was set for my final season was winning the empire 8 conference. We did not achieve this goal, but we got to the point that we overall wanted, making it into the d3 playoffs.
Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
My coaches and teammates would say that I am a hardworking and determined player. Besides the overall play of myself, the team comes before anyone. Whatever it takes to win.
Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
When watching film I originally look at the structure of the defense, how many linebackers and how many safeties there are, then I look at individual players; aggressiveness, hand/foot play, and the defenders keys.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
Ability to adapt on the fly. The after hours work that is needed for the success of the team. Chemistry with other players, especially between a QB and WR.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
I plan to train to get quicker, faster and build endurance.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
Ability to learn and always want to learn more. No matter how good you are, you can always be better.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
No one has more to win or lose than someone from a small school. There’s more of a risk for any team to take a chance at a division 3 athlete. Knowing that will take me to a new level of play.
