I’ve also made a focus to sharpen my run and pass block footwork. I’ve been concentrating on gaining muscle mass while staying toned so that my performance on my pro day March 29th will be at it’s highest.

I always seek to put others before me because I know that’s how God wants me to operate. I have the biggest heart and I do what I do to put smiles on others’ faces. I hold myself to my own standard which is perfection and I know that’s unrealistic but it keeps me on the right path to being great some day.

What are your favorite moments from your football life?

1. I played in a championship game where it was snowing in a tournament in Knoxville with my little league team, I was playing free safety and receiver at the time, I had 2 interceptions and we won in overtime.
2. Winning the state championship for my high school Montgomery Bell academy in 2014.
3. Scoring my first college TD in my home state vs Memphis.
4. Scoring another TD at Washington
5. My first time playing in Doak Campbell vs Notre Dame.

• To reach my full potential on the field, win multiple Super Bowls, and put myself in the best position to be considered a hall of famer while impacting as many lives as I can off the field.

What do you think are the keys to success on the football field?

• I think the keys to success on the field revolve around trusting your training and playing completely free. Also, making sure everything off the field is in place and how it should be as far as recovery, sleep, film study and work in the weight room. It’s a lot easier to perform when you know that you are taking the right steps to move forward and improve off the field.

What would a team get in a player like you?

• A natural born leader who leads by example, a offensive weapon that will present many mismatch problems, and a humble servant who seeks to see others around him reach their full potential.

How do you handle challenges both in life and on the football field?

• I trust that God has a specific plan for me so any challenge that I face on or off the field I am more than tough enough to handle. I take challenges head on because I know the lessons I learn while going through them will be of great benefit after I’ve overcome them.

What made you decide you wanted to be a football player?

• I remember watching the titans vs rams super bowl game as a toddler and from that day on I knew I would be there one day.
