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

Goals that I set for myself this season was for me to be in better shape and find ways to contribute to my teammates. I felt I did that by putting others over myself and teaching the other DBs in my position what to look for and how to improve on their techniques.

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

I feel that the type of teammate I am speaks for itself, but asking my coaches and a few teammates the main answers I received was dedicated, selfless, enthusiastic, motivational, humbled, and make everyone around me better!

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

When I am watching film, I am watching for certain movements from receivers that may give off run or pass. Another thing I watch for is where the team is on the field and when they are most likely to run their favorite concepts and I will put myself in a spot to make plays.

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

My work ethic and effort will definitely separate me from other prospects. I’m the type of guy that like adversity and won’t back down from it. My mindset is different from others I will give out before I give in and I will try to help others around me develop that same mindset.

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

This off season I will be training at different places hoping to gain more knowledge about the game a couple places I will be training at will be Athletic Advantage ATL, Zilla Training in Lawrenceville, Georgia, and I will also be training with Oliver Davis a defensive back specialist out of Atlanta, Georgia.

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 would be being motivational. Every team I’ve been apart of I’ve made everyone around me better by leading with my work ethic. I also know how to keep everyone focused on the goal that’s in front of us at moment and not getting sidetracked of what may happen later in the season. Off the field, I’m willing to help the team by doing whatever it takes to bring us closer to each other. Another thing will be I love to get involve with the community and hopefully that will close the gap between the team and the community.

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

I am ready to work and prove to any team that I am the type of guy that will want on their team. I am a true team player, I want to bring out the best in everyone around me to push them to be great. No matter what that may be and I’m willing to switch roles or move position just for the team to get better.
