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

Growing up my dad had me in all different sports and football was my favorite. I remember watching Ray Lewis when I was a kid and saw the excitement he gave me watching him play and knew I wanted to be just like that when I grew up.

What are you looking to achieve as a football player going forward?

I hope to achieve to have an opportunity to play in the NFL. Also, to get better in all aspects to help my team win.

If you could hang out with any football player past or present for a day who and why?

It would be Ray Lewis. His impact on the game lives on even through this era of football and I feel like I would gain so much knowledge from him regarding football and life.

My favorite moments are from this past season going undefeated for the first time in school history and winning a conference championship. Also, getting to make it to the playoffs and have a good run 2 years straight.

Which one of your family members inspires you the most and why?

My dad inspires me the most. He’s the strongest person I know of. He beat kidney cancer when I was a kid and is on dialysis until this day. He lives a playful life and I just want to make him proud.

What is your favorite defensive scheme and why?

In college we ran a 3-4 front. This was my favorite because it gave us the opportunity to use our strengths to our max potential. Also, our DC had us know the playbook like the back of our hand so everyone had a specific role to play in it and we ended up being the #1 defense in the nation.

You guys should know that I’m a hard worker on and off the field. I don’t quit when adversity hits. I stay positive more times than negative. I try to make people around me better and also my effort to anything is unmatched. I’m a God fearing man as well.

What stands out about your film the most?

My instinct and ball awareness is like no other. If you watch my film you can see my side to side speed is top tier with anybody in the league. Most importantly you can see that I’m an effort player. I don’t stop running until I find the ball.

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

I handle both life and football challenges the same. When adversity hits I choose to not let it affect me for too long. I move on from the situation and find ways to be successful. On the football field I have a next play mentality, if something goes wrong I just focus on the next play and find ways to get better through out the game.

What would a team get in a player like you?

My strengths and abilities I’d bring to a professional team is my positive attitude, making people around me better, doing my job, relentless effort to win, and my ability to flip a switch on the field.

What do you love the most about the game of football?

I love the comradery between all players and the diversity. It brings all walks of life together and cultures together. We all have one goal that we all want to achieve and that’s to win games.

Who is the most underrated player you’ve played with and why?

Zach Bronkhorst, he was our QB. He led us to multiple winning seasons and was the reason our team went far offensively. He was a leader both on and off the field.
