What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2025 NFL Draft?  

First off my competitive nature is the biggest part of my game, I have a dog mentality and I want to compete at the highest level. My work ethic is elite, I am willing to do whatever has to be done in order to do my job on the field. My football IQ is elite, I have always had the role of being the quarterback of the defense and putting everyone in a position to be successful. I have a very high motor that allows me to play every down at full speed. I’m very versatile and can play multiple positions at a high level if needed. I think having a smaller stature compared to NFL standards and still being able to make exceptional plays is an undeniable part of my game. 

What is one thing that NFL teams should know about you?

I’d say that NFL teams should know about my dedication and work ethic. I’m committed to constantly improving and giving my best effort both on and off the field. This dedication would make me a reliable and valuable team member.

If you could donate to one cause in the world, what would it be?  

If I could donate to one cause, I would choose to support education. Providing access to quality education can empower individuals, lift communities out of poverty, and create a more equitable and informed world. Education is the foundation for so many other positive changes in society.

Who was your role model? 

My mother, she has 5 sons and she’s never failed to be amazing. Her hard work for 30+ years to make sure that all 5 of us were alive and safe is the greatest thing I have ever witnessed. I’m sure she had very bad days and days that she felt like giving up, but her love and commitment to us never allowed her to quit. She put her life on pause to be a present mother and to provide for the needs of her children without hesitation or complaint, and for that, she is the greatest person I know. 

Who is your favorite NFL team?

Washington Redskins (Commanders)

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school? 

Tyler Jackson (Freshman)

What is your biggest pet peeve? 

Pathological Liars

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

(3rd Grade Teacher) Ms. Hartsfield 

Overcoming adversity is what defines character, what was the hardest moment in your life to overcome? 

The death of my father. He died 2 weeks into my freshman year of college. We had a very complex relationship, but it is true that he taught me the game of football and he is the reason I fell in love with sports in general. He taught me a lot of life lessons that he failed to follow himself. I wish I would have put more effort into understanding him. 

If you could have any franchise restaurant in your house what would it be?

Golden Corral 

What is your favorite snack food? 

Nacho Cheese Doritos 

What is your degree in? 

Accounting

If you could have dinner with three people dead or alive, who would it be and why? 

My father because I would give anything to just be able to speak with him again. My grandmother also because she died when I was 6 years old and there are so many questions I want to ask her about life. Martin Luther King Jr. because of his bravery in taking on a corrupt country, his unselfishness, and his dedication towards demanding equality for a nation of people he never even met is iconic, he was not only fighting for his present time of society but for generations ahead.

What is your biggest weakness?

Sometimes I get impatient or too anxious
