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

What are your favorite moments from your football life?

The relationships I’ve created and the people I’ve met.

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

It’s hard to pick one, my family is small but tight knit, and all of them inspire me in different ways.

What are you looking forward to in your upcoming season?

Any scheme that lets me work an edge and get after the QB.

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

Prayer as well as advice from mentors and friends.

What would a team get in a player like you?

A team would get a servant, hard worker, a great teammate, as well as a good football player.

What stands out about your film the most?

Personally, I would say my ability to get off the football. Any movement or stunt plays to my strengths.

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

The most underrated player I’ve ever played with has to be CJ Wiggins. Uber athletic dude that dominated a position he’d never played before.
