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

My college career was a dream come true as well as a humbling experience. I came out of high school playing college baseball, but I made the switch to play college football my sophomore year. Despite not being able to play last two seasons (’22 & ’23), my goal was to finish my collegiate career with a Swac Championship and be recognized as an elite defensive back, catching an interception to seal the biggest game of my career allowed me to gain the confidence that assured me I can play on the biggest stage at the next level. My best is yet to come.

I’m often voted as captain on every team l’ve been on because of my leadership skills and hard work ethic. I’m addicted to perfecting my craft because I want to be the best at what I do and anyone who knows me, knows I always want more and i’m willing to do more to get it. Im selfless and I’d sacrifice anything to win and accomplish both personal and team goals.

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

When watching film, I’m looking to critique what I showed on tape. In season, I’m looking for how I can use my ability as an advantage against a following opponent. I’m looking for an advantage to give me a competitive edge.I know I’m going to out hustle my opponent across from me but why not make it easier by studying their strengths and weaknesses? For me playing safety requires studying QB tendencies, receiver releases, and O-line blocking tells.

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

What separates me from other pro prospects is not only my tenacity and passion for the game, But I take a lot pride in my versatility. A safety who plays physical like a LB and as swift as a CB. I like describing myself as a big Swiss-army knife. I also take pride in being the smartest person on the field, which makes the game more technical and fun for
me, as it allows me to play faster. Growing up playing quarterback also gives me a defensive edge in the secondary which is a huge plus.

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

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

Aside from my leadership, which comes natural to me, I’d say my relentlessness and Grit are two things that make me a valuable asset on and off the field. These traits are who I am and can’t be turned off whether i’m on or off the field. It’s a way of life for me and I believe that is the best anyone could offer to any team or organization. Winning isn’t enough for me, I want to dominate in every aspect in life, on and off the field. That’s something you can’t teach.
