What goals did you set and/or accomplish in your final collegiate season?
My main goal was finishing up my degree. I was 1st Team All Conference for the 3rd time and helped pave the way to an historic season for BSC. Being able to pour back into my younger teammates was also a goal, making sure that the culture continuously progresses.
Q: How do you think you took advantage of the extra year of eligibility to increase your chances of going pro?
Being able to have a full 4th year of college film was a huge plus for me to show to scouts and coaches I can ball. The opportunity to grow and learn more about the game was something to be thankful for.
Q: What would your coaches and teammates say about the type of player you are?
That no one can question my effort in any drill or game and Im a guy that loves to compete and will give my all for my guys.
Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?
I focus on the consistency of every rep, making sure everything looks smooth and not forced. Being able to see how I need to adapt to certain receiver types helps in many situations. Q: What separates you from the other pro.
Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
There takes a certain type of love for the game and grit to come from a small school and make a name for yourself. I wasn’t expected to make it this far, so everyday I work with a chip on shoulder and a point to prove to myself that I am a player with high value. Not too sure if that chip will ever leave my shoulder either.
Q: What is your offseason plan to train and prepare for professional opportunities?
Lots of training and development physically and mentally. I am prepping for my pro day and paying lots of attention to the small details. I plan to make a good impression at my workout.
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 my coaches and teammates will never have to hesitate about me not getting my job done at a high level. Off the field I genuinely love to invest time in my team and organization. It allows us all to grow together.
Q: What is your final pitch to the NFL and any other pro leagues?
Playing in the NFL has been my dream since I was 3. I’ve worked tirelessly for this opportunity. Any team that takes a chance on me will be more than satisfied by that decision and I stand on that statement.
