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

This season I wanted to challenge myself and embrace the challenge from going to a D1 school to D2 school, and prove that if I worked hard on and off the field that good things would happen.

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

My coach and teammates would say “I am quiet person but love to learn and be coached. Will give his all for his family”.

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

When I’m watching film I am looking at the entire defense. Which gaps will be open, What formation do they line up in certain situations and favorite blitz. Does the D-line give indicators on which way they are going, does the linebackers have weaknesses or if he is a finesse guy or bull rusher, where are the safeties lined up because they tell where pressure is coming.

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

I feel like players say the same thing what separates them from the rest and is always is I have good speed, power, and awareness. I think me being a team player and doing whatever I am asked on the field and Off the field I’m a guy who keep to himself and would rather stay home or workout instead of go out and party. That’s would be something that separates me from the rest.

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

This offseason I plan on working to find the right weight for my body, getting faster/quicker, and stronger. Also I want to work on my awareness.

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

Strength I will bring to a team is being a team-player (doing whatever that is being asked by the coach). Abilities that I can bring is good speed and power. Also, being coachable.

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

I’ve fought my way back into a situation where I want to be and I’m still hungry. My determination is high and I will not let no man tell me what I can or can’t do. As long as I’m still in the game or not I will continue to prove people wrong everyday by working hard and keeping that hunger so if I’m drafted you will be getting a player who will work hard everyday on and off the field for the team but himself most importantly.
