Q: What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
After my junior year in 2021 I was voted to the second team all conference in the Big Sky Conference. This year I wanted to set a higher standard of dominance for myself where I would undeniably be voted to the first team and higher accolades such as All American. I accomplished both being named to the 1st team All Big Sky and AP All American.
Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
My coaches would describe me as the type of player that faces everything with a smile, I take on all my challenges and hardships head on and never let them deter me from success. I am a hard worker and a leader to lead by example and bring my teammates up with me. My teammates would also explain that I am a leader to them but also someone who tries to make every situation better. I connect with all my teammates and have relationships with them that keeps our team connected.
Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
I study film right after my games. I go home and watch the game I just played before I go to bed to see what I did well and what I need to work on. I focus on the defensive lineman’s stance, what foot they have back can tell where they are going or if they are running line games. Also what are your number 1 and 2 moves right off the ball so I can find ways to counter it.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
My foot speed and quickness separates me from other pro prospects. My ability to redirect on line movement and closing space on pulls to make blocks to open up large holes for big plays.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
Off-season I have been training at Sacramento State with my strength coach. They know my body and my numbers which allow me to progress at a constant rate.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
My strengths and abilities consist of my athleticism and my versatility to play every position on the line which I have shown throughout my time at Sacramento State. I have shown my ability to drive people off the ball and work to cover up linebackers to open holes for my running backs.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
I am grateful and honored for any opportunity I am given but I will add not only a dominance factor to any offensive line but also the ability to unite my teammates because I can connect with everyone and be a great addition to any organization.
