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

A few goals that I set this year was that I wanted to earn the all american award, win the conference, and then to stay healthy and not miss any games. I came up short on the first goal although I earned all conference honors once again, and as a team we came up short for winning the conference, but I was able to play every game and was available every game.

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

I believe they would say I’ve always been a guy who’s always one of the hardest workers in the room, but also a good person and a good teammate, always have been selfless.

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

I watch route runners like Cooper Kupp, Davante Adams, and Keenan Allen and I just watch how they move and how they are sinking they’re hips getting in and out of breaks, and also just how they are creative in running routes and finding different ways to get open. When I’m watching film on db’s that I’m going up against I pay attention to how discipline they are in their technique, do they tend to get greedy, do they get their eyes in the backfield, are they patient, and are how quick are they to open their hips and also how good are they flipping their hips.

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

I’m a playmaker, I’m going to go up and get the ball every time and make a play, I run good routes , get in and out of my breaks, and also I do the little things. I block on the perimeter and i’m going to seal the edge, and also can motion into tight end and block in the box.

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

I’m going to train at T3 training twice a week in Cleveland to prepare me for my pro day, get some work with my trainer Donald Russel while I’m home over Christmas break, who’s been training me since high school and I have my sprints coach Antone who handles my speed/explosion training, and I’ll obviously still be in the gym lifting weights staying strong and flexible.

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

On the field I will add a guy who has strong hands, run good routes, make plays and come in with a great work ethic which is contagious I believe. Off the field I would be a great addition as a person with a great attitude and energy, just always positive and just always trying to be an exceptional human.

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

My final pitch would be just to watch my film, it shows I’m a playmaker, going to make big catches and big blocks to spring big runs. At the end of the day I’m going to make plays, thats my job and I do it at a high level.
