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

I think having the ability to be physical and a finesse guy around the edge with my edge bending ability separates me.

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

I’m a guy who is never complacent and always trying to find a way to better my game and myself as a man. I believe working on yourself with the little things makes up the big picture. 

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

To get people who are struggling on the streets back on their feet

Who was your role model?

My dad 

Who is your favorite NFL team?

Growing up I was a Giants fan.

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?

I believe Brennan Presley definitely should’ve gotten a combine and Reese/Shrine Bowl invite. Also, shout out my D-line brothers. “Da Clappaz”

What is your biggest pet peeve?

People who believe they deserve the most success but don’t work for it. Also, people speed up when you try to pass them. 

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

I got a couple of real teachers. For one, Jerry Clark from Gannon. He’s a retired FBI/ATF agent. He was my professor while I was in criminal justice. Also Dr. Cooley from Oklahoma State (Graduate communications advisor), he looked out for me big time.

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

Losing my dad to cancer at a young age.

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

Chick-fil-A, you can’t go wrong with their breakfast menu

What is your favorite snack food?

Pop-tarts 

What is your degree in?

I got an undergraduate degree in Criminal Justice and a graduate certificate in Branding Communication. 

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

LeBron James, Michael Jordan, and Myles Garrett I feel like they have the blueprint not only to build a successful brand but to build themselves and be the greatest.

What is your biggest weakness?

I’ve been working on expanding my knowledge of the game in different aspects other than my position, just knowing schemes and zone coverage more in-depth.
