Q: What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
Set all conference accolades during my final season, unfortunately I couldn’t not accomplish this goal.
Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
Hard worker, comes to work everyday day in and day out to be the best athlete that I could possibly be. Gives 100% effort.
Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
I like to study the tendencies of an offensive lineman. Study how he uses his hands, if he likes to play low in the run block, does he show any weaknesses that would require me to use a specific pass rush technique in the passing game. Most importantly what the offense as a whole’s tendency is with the formations they run and their play calling. Overall trying my best to understand what will happen before it happens.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
Effort, the ability to learn fast and the ability to pay attention to details. The ability to develop quickly and on the fly.

Currently I have a trainer that I will work with all the way until my college pro day starting January 4th.
Q: What kind of strengths and abilities will you bring to a team that will stand out both on and off the field?
Being coachable, good on the field instincts and decision making, a broad personality that can lead and uplift teammates, as well the intelligence to understand the role I have on a squad when I am not in position to be a leader.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
This has been a life long dream that l’ve have worked a long time for. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to earn an opportunity to play professional football. Special teams, having to change my position it don’t matter. I’ll work my butt off for the opportunity.
