Talk about your experience as a student. What is your major/minor? Did you participate in any other activities or campus organizations other than football?
My major is Recreation Administration. I really want to be involved with the community and sports. I haven’t been to many activities on campus because this past year was my first year.

I would say my attitude and that I like to compete. Anyone who gets in front me I try to beat.
What kind of role do you see yourself in on the team? What scheme and/or position suits your skill set?
I see myself as a run stopper DT. I can pass rush well too but I really did great against the run this season and had a couple TFLs.
Who is the best player you have ever played against in college?
A guy named Terry Williams. He played for a junior college. I don’t think he can be guarded.

In highschool, I played running back. Getting 1,000 yards every year and helping my team win was big to me. I love playing a big role on a team .
Describe one of the most memorable plays of your collegiate career.
I would have to say in junior college the first play of the game I hit the running back and he fumbled and we recovered it was probably the best in college.
