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

My main goals were to win the CAA and a national championship. We didn’t accomplish them but I’m proud of the way our team battled all year. Our offensive line’s goal was to be the best unit and we accomplished that by leading the league in rushing and giving up the fewest sacks.

Q: How do you think you took advantage of the extra year of eligibility to increase your chances of going pro?

This extra year allowed me to get better in many aspects. I was able to develop better leadership skills and continue to master my technique. I also got an extra year to learn from Coach Sammis my OL coach who has really turned me into a pro player.

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

I’m a competitor, tough, accountable, and team-first guy.

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

In self-scout I’m looking at my footwork, hat and hand placement to make sure I can correct any technique issues. When watching the opposing team I look at what the defense overall will bring to the table and then study the tendencies of the players I’ll be blocking.

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

I have an elite work ethic and motor. I also have great size and movement ability. I can play multiple positions on the line and will always put the team first.

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

I will continue to work hard and train every aspect from my football technique to my strength & conditioning so that I’m ready to make an immediate impact.

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

I will always put the team first and do everything I can to win. I’m tough, durable, and consistent in both the run and pass game.

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

I love football and am hungry for an opportunity at the next level. I’ll give my best every day and can’t wait for the chance to compete.
