Q: What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
My biggest goal I wanted to accomplish in my final season after transferring from NAIA to D2 was to prove to myself and others that I can still have success regardless of what level of football I’m playing in, and I feel like I proved that and ended up earning AP All-American Honors to show for it, along with first team All-Conference & All-Region.
Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
My coaches and teammates would say I’m one of the hardest workers on the team and someone who goes about my business the right way.
Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
When I’m watching film, I like to focus on what type of releases the receiver has at the line of scrimmage, along with how he tempos his routes and what routes he runs based off of his splits.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
What separates me is that I am able to use football savvy that comes from many hours of studying the game to help me make plays and I don’t only have to rely on physical traits to win. But physically, you could also cut the tape on and see that I’m never outmatched when it comes to speed and physicality. My nose for the football is also something that separates me with my 18 career takeaways.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
My offseason plan is to begin pro day training here in the coming weeks and to also continue to perfect my craft on the football field.
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 will bring a reliable presence at corner who can hang with anyone on the field and make plays when they come my way. Off the field, I will bring a winning attitude and the type of approach to the game that is needed to build a winning culture.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
Whoever picks me up will be getting a guy who knows what it means to work at a championship level having won 4 conference championships and 1 National Championship, And although I’m not coming from an FBS program, I have proven that after playing only 1 season in high school, I have been a standout at both the NAIA and D2 level, and will continue to be a standout player regardless of the uniform I have on.
