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

Goals that I accomplished as a senior at Henderson State were getting a degree in sports management and also becoming a First team All-conference player.

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

As a leader at Henderson I strongly believe my coach’s and teammates would say I am a hard nose player who expects excellence everyday that I step on the field. Also expect others to play at a high level and use each day to work hard.

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

One thing I focus on is keeping the same technique throughout the game even when fatigue sets in and other adversity’s that I may cause problems to my playing style.

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

I believe the one thing that separates me is the consistency on film, being able to do the same thing and getting the same results over and over. That’s key to playing at the next level.

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

I plan to team up with my trainer after the season and sit down and talk about my strengths and weakness to see what needs to be improved and focused on during the off-season. Focus on lots of technique and small things to improve my game for the next level.

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 be able to come in and play a huge role on special teams, I know that I am versatile in the secondary and I feel that I can play more than one position on the field. Off the field I will be able to show how dedicated I am to the game by making off field decisions that will help my career as a football player. I’m willing to bring the same energy each day no matter how I may feel.

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

I come from a small school with no hand outs so I am very blue collar and I stand on you get what you deserve. I rather take the minimum and prove myself and work up the ranks. Most of all whoever takes a chance on me will be getting a hard worker and talented player who can bring the best out of others around me.
