What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
I set many goals before my senior season, the 3 most important ones were creating turnovers, 50 tackles, and being a leader.
Q: How do you think you took advantage of the extra year of eligibility to increase your chances of going pro?
During the covid year I wasn’t benefitted with an extra season. The conference my team belong in (PSAC) didn’t host a season during the pandemic. I spent that free year training, but to have an extra season like my peers would have been nice.
Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
My coaches and my teammates will say I’m a leader and I come everyday ready to bring my all!
Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
When studying film I like to evaluate my alignment, assignment, and keys. Just focusing on little things like that will expose you to making more plays.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
What separates me from other pro prospects, is I started all 4 seasons without using my red shirt. Three of those seasons I was a shut down corner for Bo Pelini at Youngstown State and one season at Indiana university of Football Pa. I think being a fast learner and coachable got me on the field early as a freshmen.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
I am currently training for my pro-day at Stapleton Strength Performance located in Indiana, Pa. I am fortunate to have a chance to perform at Youngstown St pro day since my school is not hosting one.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
Strengths I will bring to my team is a competitive attitude on the field and in classroom. This will push people around me to work harder too.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
I’m a ball player looking for an opportunity to show what I can bring to the table. Whether that will be guarding WRs on defense or running down on special teams.
