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

My main goal going into my last season was to play the highest brand of football I have ever played in my entire life. My second goal was to improve my skill set at long snapping. My last goal was to earn the right of my team to earn the starting long snapping position for my last season. For myself to accomplish that goal I had to bring my A game everyday in the offseason to every workout.

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

My coaches and teammates always tell me that I have the most tremendous work ethic on the team and the high energy that I bring as well with that.

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

When I am studying film I always study my body position. I always work on my technique and find ways to improve throughout the week. When I am getting ready for an opponent I always study if the punt return team is going to send pressure from one side to another. I also study who is going to try and block me and how I can beat the block to get down field.

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

What separates me from the other long snappers in the draft class is my athletic abilities to cover down the field. I used to play defensive line so if someone were to try and block me down field I can shed off the block.

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

I will continue to workout in the weight room and improve as a long snapper. Everyday I always work hard to make sure that I have to be better than I was day before.

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 and abilities I bring to the team is that I am a very coachable individual. I make sure that I am on top of my game and perform at a very high level. Both on and off the field I keep my standards high. That tends to get noticed by the people I am surrounded with. I always encourage my teammates to perform the best of their abilities too.

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

I will say this to any team out there. You will not only get a good football player. You will get that type of player who would stay 15 minutes after practice working on improving his craft anNot only you will be getting a good football player. You will also be getting a person who wants to give back to his community and using this platform will help me tremendously accomplish that.
