What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2023 NFL Draft? 

What makes me a top prospect in my position is my athleticism, technique, and hands. Although I’m slightly undersized my athleticism, technique, and hands give me the ability to win the line of scrimmage fast violently, and efficiently.

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

I say about age 4 was when my interest peaked in football because my parents told me I was always carrying around a football didn’t matter if it was foam plastic rubber that was my go-to every time and shortly after that I began playing flag football. 

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

Extremely athletic with great hands and feet while being able to pull in space and down the line.

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

It would have to be world hunger sounds cliche but knowing that there are children and families with no real means of nutrition is awful and it can be helped but has been neglected.

What is the best advice you have ever received? 

That nobody cares 

Who was your childhood hero? 

My childhood hero had to have been my mom she’s moved heaven and earth for my siblings and me while making something out of nothing countless times.

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

I would have to say the most underrated teammate in my locker room is our freshman QB Tommy kid shocked a lot of people the last few weeks of practice since his reps went up but he can sling that thing man give him a year or two dudes going to be a stud.

What is your biggest pet peeve? 

My biggest pet peeve would have to be don’t smack/chew with your mouth open no one wants to hear or see all that.

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

Adversity has never been a stranger in my life but one that was the hardest moment in my life and I’ll never forget would be when I broke my leg on January 06, 2020. Just 6 days before transferring from Cisco Junior College to Texas A&M University-Commerce I broke my leg due to a car accident I remember the first thing I said was about my career cause I thought it was all over then. After a successful surgery, the Doctors said it would be slim to no chance for me to play with the severity but I didn’t care about any of that. I put my head down and went to work in rehab and was walking in 2 months and doing exercises with jogging in 4 and it just took off from there. Don’t let anyone tell you what you can and can’t do.

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

Something special about my school would have to be the way it revolves around sports and how much support we get from the town and university.

What is your favorite snack food? 

My favorite snack food is a tie between Baked Hot Cheetos and Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookies the original ones, not the new rebranded ones they recently changed to.

What is the best part of football? 

The best part about football to me is the brotherhood and bonds that come with it. You make some of your best friends for life and people you call your brother through the game it’s a beautiful thing.

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

I love the game and everything that comes with it the grind, struggle, heartbreaks, tears, and joy. Always been a man to grind for what I want never had handouts competed for everything in life and earned it working from the ground up whatever it takes there’s no quit in me.

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

If I could compare myself to one player it would have to be Marshal Yanda his hands, physicality, and ability to play with his eyes reminds me of myself.

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

Three people I would have dinner with would be Kobe Bryant, Mike Tyson, and Ray Lewis
