What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2022 NFL Draft? 

• My skill, my drive, my determination, and my commitment to the game. 

At what age were you first interested in the sport of football?

• I started playing football at the age of 6 and it’s been up ever since.

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

• They should know that I am committed to being the best. I never give up. I grow with every rep.

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

• I would donate to an Alzheimer’s Foundation. My grandfather had Alzheimer’s and it was the hardest thing my family had to deal with.

What is the best advice you have ever received? 

• The best piece of advice I’ve received has been “Don’t give up on something you love.” 

Who was your childhood hero? 

• My childhood hero was my dad.

Who is the most underrated teammate in your locker room at your school? 

• I would say Ben Walters is the most underrated teammate. He’s a hard worker and great team leader.

What is your biggest pet peeve? 

• My biggest pet peeve is when someone chews with their mouth open.

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

• The hardest moment in my life was an injury that took me away from the game for a while. It changed my perspective on life.  

Tell me something about your school and why it is so special to you?

• West Georgia is family. It is a brotherhood on and off the field. 

What is your favorite snack food? 

• Wild berry Trolli gummies.

What is the best part of football? 

• The best part about football is the adrenaline you feel while on the field. I get to become a different person.

If you could sell yourself in one sentence, what would you say? 

• I am beyond dedicated, always motivated, and determined to succeed.

If you could compare your play to one player in the NFL who would it be? 

• I try to compare my game to Trent Williams. He’s athletic for his size, physical at the point of attack, and dominant at every phase of the game. 

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

• I would have dinner with Lebron James so I can ask him what pushed him to be where he is today and what kept him grounded through all his success. I would also have dinner with my cousin Corin who passed away to catch up with him, and my grandfather. He bought me my first football, and I would want to let him know of all the things I have achieved since then.
