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

This past season one of my ultimate goals was to really be a leader for our football team. In addition, I wanted to help us win games in any way possible. Being able to contribute both in the passing game and running game was one of the biggest things I got to do this year and be one of the focal points of our offense.

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

I truly believe they would say I was a captain and leader for the football team. Whether it was leading by example or keeping others accountable, I believe I was a great teammate. Being able to pick others up and bring us together when we needed it the most during adverse times during the season was one of the best things I’ve ever gotten to do.

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

Watching film as WR I’d always look at how a db plays, whether it was aggressive or softer and game plan around that. I always liked to see how they’d play coverages to see where the windows would be based on the plays we’d be running that week. As a RB, one of the biggest things I’d look at was how the Lb would play and how they would fit the holes. See if they play flat footed or if they’re quick to react. Also looking at what type of blitzer they are, a bull rush guy or a more finesse type of player.

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

I think the biggest thing that separates me is the fact that I’m a utility guy and plug n play type of player. I can play outside WR and catch the deep ball, I can play slot and out play safeties and nickels, and I can also be put in the backfield and be a natural runner. Compare my game a lot to guys like Deebo Samuel, Christian Mccaffrey and Cordale Patterson.

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

I just got back from training for my pro day with Cooper Sports Performance out in Tampa, Florida. I plan to keep training and start focusing back more on football to prepare for any professional opportunities I may get.

Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?

As a player I bring intelligence and the ability to play all around any offense. In addition, I’m a big player on special teams and would love to help on those teams as well. I’m a hard worker and an accountable coachable player who can help any team.

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

All I need is an opportunity to showcase my talents and what I bring to the table. I’m hungry for any opportunity from any team. I’m a well rounded player with a heavy special teams background that can play anywhere on the field.
