Q: What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
For personal goals before the season I manifested that I would be number 1 in all categories for career at eureka which I ended up being top 4 in all categories. I set my goals high and reach for the stars so I also wanted to be an all-American which I did not reach. Though I did get all conference honors in the last two of my seasons at Eureka in the NACC As well as NACC player of the week. I was Team Captain and tallied over 100 catches in my final season as well as over 1700 yards and 20+ touchdowns.
Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
I believe my coaches would say that I am the most hardworking person they’ve ever met because they have told me this. They would say I’m a different type of person who you want everyone to mirror. They would say that I am the type of guy that will give everything I have and more and has a passion for the game that is unmatched. I believe my teammates would describe me as a very vocal leader who takes every second serious on the field maybe even too serious. They would say when I speak, I speak into their heart and souls. A true leader who shows it day in and day out. They would describe me as having everyone’s back and they are trusting enough to let me frontline the war while knowing I am willing to empty the tank every single time my cleats touch the turf.
Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
When studying film I like to first watch the whole defense to see the coverage because with playing slot and wideout I can’t just focus on one person. After figuring out the coverages and seeing what the first and secondary are doing then I start to focus on the players individually. I like to pay very close attention to how players move, react, breathe.. everything. I try to figure out what type of person they are through film and I study every little thing that they give me and try to use it to my advantage.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
I believe what separates me is my mentality and my ableness to be exactly who I say I am. I don’t fold in moments I only come to play football and do my job. I don’t fear the moment I live for the moment. Adversity for me is used as motivation so nothing can stop me from wanting to become better in all aspects. I don’t stop working I believe I may work too much if that was ever a thing. A true workhorse who embodies the spirit and everything else that comes with being a true football player a true competitor.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
My plan is to just keep training and keeping my feet wet ready for any moment or any call to any team that may need me to show my talent in front of them. The gym and the field has always been my best friend and at this time why I wait for opportunities it is very important that I stay training and prepared for the next door to open.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
I am very coachable and I take the game very serious. I have a very strong focus and attention to detail. My strengths on the field I believe is being a natural born leader and being able to vocally get through to people and show why physically I know what I’m talking about. Off the field I’m the same person I believe I am very much still a leader and a person you can rely on to stay focused and not let outside things distract me from what is most important. I have a strong voice which speaks to peoples heart when it come to the game. I have a very high catch radius and know the game in and out so Its easier for me to know the spots & how to get open to them. Very fast & strong and able to jump very high and willing to do whatever to bring the ball down.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
My final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues is to take a chance on a man who takes football as serious as he wants to breathe. I am the epitome of a true football player. I have the skill the mentality the heart and the mind which is needed to be a true football player. It is true when I walk and I talk you can sense the hunger. I am willing to outwork anyone to prove myself and no doubt give my all at all moments. To be apart of any team I believe I will enhance the locker room chemistry and the football team overall if and when given a chance. I am all about the action and would love to prove myself in front of you. Please take a look at my film I believe it speaks for itself thank you for your time!
