Q: What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
I would say my main goal for my final season was to just polish my Game overall. I feel that was big for me going into my last year showing I can play whatever position need be while becoming a leader. I would say I did those things, even though I had to sit out. I still polished my game and worked hard on the things I needed to.
Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
I think my coaches and teammates would describe me as a hard worker. I’m always working even when I don’t need to be I find something to do. To me it’s always something you can work on.
Q: When you are studying film, what do you focus on to improve your game?
When watching film I pretty much watch myself. I watch my leverage on every snap to make sure I have the right spacing. I check my eyes to make sure I’m looking at the right things. After those I make sure I follow through with my assignment on the play.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
What separates me from other pro prospects is that I’m versatile and I play with an edge. I feel I can do whatever is asked of me everyday every snap at a high level. I’ve played at just about every level of football. I love this game with a passion.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
I plan to play in the Podyum Senior Bowl game in January. Following the senior bowl I’ll be back and fourth training throughout Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Seattle.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
Off the field I would just say great character. I’m very well mannered wherever I go no matter the person I treat everyone with respect. I’m very laid back off the scene, so you don’t have to worry about me being caught up in any trouble or anything in that nature. On the field I would say you just get a pure athlete who loves the game of football. I enjoy playing the game physically and also the mental preparing element. I strive in pressure so no moment is ever too big for me.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL or any other pro leagues?
What I would say to the NFL and any other Pro leagues is they will not regret choosing me. Whoever or wherever I go I will be coming in ready to learn and work. I’ve been waiting for this opportunity my whole life and now I’m ready prove to everyone why. I will always represent whatever program I go to in a highly fashion and always put the team first but nothing less than play my hardest.
