What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
I set out to be more productive on the field and I did just that. Not only from the help of my coaches but teammates also getting to the ball with purpose.
Q: How do you think you took advantage of the extra year of eligibility to increase your chances of going pro?
Just bettering my awareness and football IQ on and off the field. Also learning how to be patient more and allowing plays to come to me.
Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
More of a show you type of guy and very attentive to what’s being asked of me as a player. Mostly a hard worker but always ready to learn and detailed.
Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
How is my hand placement, better form of tackling, knowing how to also attack the ball and recognize my opponents ball security, and how i could be better in my ability to get to the ball.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
My work ethic I’m always willing to do extra and whatever will get not only myself better but others around me. And my attention to detail I’m my biggest critic when it comes to craft and film study.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
Right now I’m training in Pensacola with our training staff at the school. Also I’m doing extra work with an in town trainer as well.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
My ability to learn and apply what’s required of me, my skill set and ability to run to the ball and create pressure on the QB.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
Take the chance on me and you’ll find out everything in this interview will be the same thing you’ll get in person. I’m a workaholic and might be undersized but you can’t measure heart. Your program will not regret taking a chance on me I promise.
