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

My ultimate goal I set this year in my final season playing college football was to go to program and win a conference championship. I always wanted to know what it felt like to be a champion. This season we fell short we ended up the season 4-8. Another goal of mine I set was to play in a senior bowl game. I accomplished that by playing in the FCS Spiral Bowl. So all was not lost even though I didn’t leave USF as a champion.

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

My coaches and team mates would say I am a hard working player that loves the game. They would say he always has a smile on his face. They also would say I love to joke around and be the clown out the group. Along with having a great personality. People really enjoy my company!

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

When study film I’m always my worst critic. I always try to find a way to do something better than the week before. I feel like the little things take care of the big things. Changing the little things in your game can be the difference between a 6 tackle Game and a 10 tackle game.

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

What separates me from other prospect at my position would simply be the dog mentally I play with. I encourage teams to double me because if not I was gone cause havoc. One person can’t block me all night and you expect me not to make plays. I feel like I’m a safety at NT running sideline to sideline chasing the ball, making tackles. Another thing that separates me from other prospects simply is my work ethic. I get that from my high school coach Brian Allen . He Made sure once we left Columbia high school and we where going to be the hardest worker there. Columbia doesn’t do nothing but produce the best athletes.

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

My offseason plan is to train in the Miami area for the next 3 months. I want to be in the best shape when my name is called for the opportunity of a life time.

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

The strengths I bring to a team on the field would be I’m a very versatile player I can play NT or 3 tech. Sometimes I like to get my Joey Bosa going and get out there on the edge and get after it! Na lol I’m joking with ya man. But I’ve played some fullback though in my day on goal like situations. What I bring to a team off the field would be a player that’s great in the community. I love to be involved in the community. Especially with the youth, as a matter of fact I’m doing a mentor program with the dream big sport’s academy. we are bringing 32 kids down to the players networking event in Miami Florida. We are taking them to let them experience what it’s like during the super bowl. I think it’s going to be a fun experience. I’ve never been to a super bowl in my life so I’m excited as well to see what it’s like. I feel like I could be a player to win the man of year award like JJ Watt did!

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

My final pitch to any team that wants me. You want be let down I can promise you that. I’m a compete player on and off the field. It’s been a lode dream to play in the NFL. I’ve always wanted to be a positive influence and a roll model to kids that are chasing the same dream I’m about be living. I want them to know anything is possible if you put your mind to it. I just want to be in a position to help others pursue there dreams and dream big!
