Q: What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
On the field and in the classroom, I establish goals for myself that incorporate leadership and commitment. I believe that my diligence has demonstrated that I’ve achieved both of these goals.
Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
My coaches and former teammates would describe me as a motivated individual who exhibits good leadership and dependability. Also, they would signify me as a “Gym Rat”.
Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
When I watch film, I concentrate on two things: the quarterback and the Wide Receivers. When I examine what my opponent did in their prior game, I pay close attention to how they performed from the first quarter to the finish.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
What separates me from the other pro prospects is having the ability to play both sides of the ball. This can be a great advantage from others because of the skill set and knowledge I’ve learned playing on both sides of the ball. Lastly, my speed will enhance my ability at any position on the field.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
First and foremost, I want to thank God for allowing me to attend the FAF Senior Bowl game in Middletown, NY. It was an honor to showcase my talent in front of scouts and to form bonds with those who are pursuing the same goal as I am. My offseason goal is to begin preparing for my pro day and stay healthy for this track season.
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 that will bring to a team and stand out both and off the field is my commitment and role on the team. Without a doubt, I will strive to take the initiative and learn the team goal objective quickly, while providing genuine support for my team. Lastly, helping the community and giving back to those in need is a genuine role of mine.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
My final pitch to the Pro Leagues is that you’re getting an athlete who has potential to play both sides of the ball if needed but is also anxious to learn. My speed for any route concepts and as well, chasing the ball carrier from any side of the field is what you’re seeking for.
