What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2025 NFL Draft?
I consistently create separation on both inside and outside routes, thriving in highly competitive environments. Respectfully I feel as that I am one of the best route runners in this draft class, as displayed on my film (vs Maine 18 catch game)! My ability to adapt quickly to new cultures and playbooks reflects my endless focus and dedication to the game of football.
As a leader on multiple college football teams, I understand what it takes to build a winning culture. My contributions on special teams, particularly in the punt return game, provide a dependable asset to consistently secure great field position, offering any NFL team a strategic advantage.
What is one thing that NFL teams should know about you?
One thing an NFL team should know about me is that I’m willing to do whatever it takes to become the best in the world. I carry a heavy chip on my shoulder and remain grounded, never buying into my own hype.
If you could donate to one cause in the world, what would it be?
I would donate to help provide resources for high school athletes who lack access to proper training, exposure, or guidance, ensuring they have a fair shot at being recruited at a high level.

Coming out of high school with zero offers. Having to take the post graduate route at East Coast prep for a semester living in cabins in the middle of nowhere. By week 2 of being there after my first gave, I started to question whether I was really a division 1 football player. I said “maybe I should just go to Deonte Harris School, Assumption, and just settle there.” The following weekend I received my first division 1 FCS offer.
