What is the best advice you have ever received? 

  • Not to worry about the next person focus on your own path. Everyone goes through their own trials and tribulations so comparing isn’t going to help you. You have to focus on you.

  • Liars 

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

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

  • I’m a hard worker and I do everything in my power to make sure my team and I are always in a position to win. 

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

  • I don’t like comparing myself to others because I want to be the best version of myself. In my game, though I like to take bits and pieces out of all my favorite players like Jalen Ramsey, Jamal Adams, and Tyrann Mathieu. 

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

  • My grandfather, my Aunt Jaz, and my great uncle Bobby. I never got a chance to interact with the 3 of them all together and I think it’d be a lot of fun.
