Q: What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
I had one of my best years yet. My goal was to make more plays and become more technically sound, and I definitely can say I did that.
Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
They would say that I’m a high motor guy who works at an intense level in both practice and the games. They’d tell you no matter the circumstances, I never have a bad day.
Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
When studying film, I look at small details whether it’s a false step, wasted movement, body positioning, etc. At the end of the day, the small details are what separate the good from the great.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
My physicality is what separates me. I’m a willing tackler and I’m not scared to get my nose dirty. I love attacking the football and making plays. I’m not a one dimensional DB because I can also cover.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
Right now I’m just focusing on The College Gridiron Showcase that I’ll be attending. After that I’ll have a set plan on where I will be training and stuff. My plan is to put on about 15 pounds and get my 40 down to a 4.3.
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 have that intense style of play that motivates others around me to make plays too, creating that synergy that every DB unit needs. Off the field I am a guy who genuinely cares about what’s going on with my teammates mentally outside of football.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
I’m a guy who will make plays anywhere in the secondary. I’m versatile and not only will I make plays in the secondary but I’m also willing to make plays on special teams. I’m a physical, hard nosed, scrappy DB that loves being battle tested. You will get a guy who will better the DB unit everyday in every aspect, and will make an impact in the community as well.
