Tell us about your hometown, and what you love most about it?

•  I’m from Liberty City, Miami, Florida and I love the fact that the majority of my family lives there. I also love the weather.

List these three in order of importance and why: Film Study, Strength and Conditioning and Practice? 

– Film study because when playing the game of football it is important to know your opponent almost as good as you know yourself and that goes for both sides of the ball.

– Strength and Conditioning because I truly believe that you have to prepare your body to perform at its peak long before it’s time to play on game day.

– Practice is important because that’s where team chemistry is built and where everything that you studied in the film room is actually applied.

What do you worry about, and why?

•  I worry about my future the most because I believe that every decision you make will help determine it and because of the fact that it is one thing that is uncertain in life.

Give me an example of when you failed at something. How did you react and how did you overcome failure?

•  One time I failed was when I didn’t achieve my goal grade for Midterms in school, so I doubled the amount of time I studied for tests throughout the rest of the semester and I got my grade up to where I wanted it to be.

Who is the best player you have ever played against in college?

What would your career be if you couldn’t play football?

•   I would be a Computer Engineer and Entrepreneur because I would start my own firm.

Room, desk, and car – which do you clean first?

•  Room because that’s where I’ll be at the start of the day.

If there was a disaster and you could either save three strangers or one family member, which would you choose and why?

•  My family member because of the love and loyalty the runs in my family and I wouldn’t be able to live knowing that I let my family member die and I could’ve saved him/her.

If you could be any television or movie character, who would you be and why?  

•  John Wick because he’s a man of focus.

Tell me about your biggest adversity in life and how you’ve dealt with or overcome it?
