What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
I wanted to win a conference championship, unfortunately we weren’t able to complete that goal, but I wouldn’t trade my team for the world. I ended up receiving All-Conference honors.
Q: How do you think you took advantage of the extra year of eligibility to increase your chances of going pro?
I took the extra year to get stronger and faster, and also to learn the game more. Which I feel had me very prepared for this past season and beyond.

They would say I am a very passionate person. A leader, someone people look up to on and off the field.
Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
I look at tendencies like QB feet and posture to determine if it’s run or pass, RB alignment, Receiver alignment, what route combinations teams like to do on certain parts of the field. How I might be able to manipulate certain coverages and blitzes off what they are showing.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
My versatility. I can play in the Box, Slot, or drop into coverage. My block shedding ability and aggressive tackling style.

My journey through college football has made me into the man I am today. Through trials and tribulations I never folded. Whoever takes a chance on me, won’t regret it.
