My coaches and teammates would say that I am an extremely hard worker and instinctive player with a big motor. A leader that cares about the game and his teammates.

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

When watching film, I always studying the whole OL like every position and reading keys and where would I put my hand down. Also, their footwork as well when the ball snaps and their formations as well going run or pass. I mostly study inside offensive lineman a lot than outside tackles which can help me improve my game a lot.

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

What separates me in my opinion is my knowledge of the game and instincts, I have a motor that doesn’t stop and will be relentless to the ball. Im twitchy, explosive, and very solid in the run and pass game.

I’m back home in Ocilla, GA. My Trainer Howard Hojo Jordan. He’s working with me on my lower body, footwork, speed and recovery. I also train with my (HS)Coach Fletcher & Levonte Larry who is working on my upper body strength flexibility and explosiveness

My strengths and abilities I bring to the table is being versatile and playing anywhere on the line from a 3 tech to a 5 and be interchangeable at anytime. I bring leadership, experience as a 3-4 year starter and team captain. I also have experience on special teams such as kickoff and punt.

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

Any team that I am working to have the opportunity to work for, I will not take the opportunity lightly and I think my film and pro day, and so fourth will do the talking for me. I’m bringing value on and off the field and can stay consistent. Once I get my shot it’s only up from there.
