In my final collegiate season, my primary goal was to help my team achieve success on the field. We finished the season with an 8-3 record, which was an improvement over the previous season. My personal goal was to contribute to the team’s success as much as possible. I wanted to be a leader on and off the field, both through my performance on the field and my work ethic in practice and the weight room. I’m pleased with how the team performed and the progress that we made throughout the season.

They would also point to my ability to stay calm and focused under pressure and my willingness to put in the extra work to improve my game.

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

When I’m studying film, I focus on a few key things. First, I analyze the opposing team’s offensive scheme to identify potential weaknesses and opportunities. Second, I study my own performance from previous games to identify areas where I can improve my technique, footwork, and tackling. Finally, I watch film of other successful linebackers to learn from their techniques and strategies, and to adapt and incorporate them into my own game.

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

What separates me from other pro prospects at my position is my work ethic, my ability to read offenses and react quickly, and my leadership skills. I am constantly striving to improve my game through film study and training, and I believe that my dedication and drive will allow me to reach my full potential as a linebacker. Additionally, I have a natural ability to read offenses and react quickly, which I believe will serve me well at the next level.

Physically, I am focusing on improving my strength, speed, and agility through weightlifting, conditioning, and agility drills. Mentally, I am working on improving my ability to read offenses and react quickly through film study and practicing situational plays. I’m also working on developing strong relationships with coaches, trainers, and other professionals who can help me to reach my goals.

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

On the field, I believe that my physicality, quick reaction time, and leadership skills will be an asset to any team. I have a proven track record of success in college, and I am confident that I can translate that success to the next level. Off the field, I bring a positive attitude, strong work ethic, and a willingness to mentor and encourage my teammates. I believe that my ability to build strong relationships and work collaboratively with others will help me to be a valuable teammate and contribute to the team’s overall success.
