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

Some of my team goals were to win a conference title, make it to the fcs playoffs and to do whatever my teams needed me to do for us to be successful. We did win the conference and made it to the playoffs. Some personal goals for me were to be a better player all around and get all conference honors and all American honors. I did get all conference honors but I wasn’t an all American. During the off-season I wanted gain weight, get stronger and become faster. Coming into the season I did feel like I was the strongest and fastest I ever been.

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

When studying film I try to look for some of my weaknesses and some of the mistakes I made that week so I can be a better player for the next week.

On and off the field I love to compete. I’m a person who puts 100% in everything that I do. I’m team player who is willing to do anything to help his team be successful. Off the field I haven’t had any issues or problems that would embarrass my team or family.

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

I’m willing to do anything to make a team and whoever give me a chance I will be one of the hardest workers on the team.
