2027 NFL Draft<\/a>?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nWhat makes me a top prospect in the 2027 draft class is my edge on the football field.\u00a0Being\u00a0able to be a positive person\u00a0on\u00a0field\u00a0and make things happen. I am the type of player to get whatever\u00a0is done\u00a0that needs to be done to win.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tell me about a time you faced adversity and how you responded?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nA time\u00a0I\u00a0faced adversity is when my\u00a0mom\u00a0dad and grandparents all got diagnosed with cancer in a 3-month stand. This was\u00a0truly hard\u00a0for me because\u00a0I\u00a0was in my\u00a0freshman\u00a0year of college and\u00a0I\u00a0truly did not know what to do.\u00a0I\u00a0drove home from college\u00a0almost\u00a0every\u00a0day\u00a0to support and comfort them in times of\u00a0struggle,\u00a0and they\u00a0ultimately inspired\u00a0me to be who\u00a0I\u00a0am today.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
What are your hobbies outside of football?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nI Golf, Fish, and love Music\u00a0<\/p>\n
What role do you see yourself playing at the next level?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nThe role I see\u00a0myself playing\u00a0in\u00a0the NFL is a True running back and playing a role on special teams as a dangerous return man.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
If you could donate to one cause in the world, what would it be?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nI would donate to kids that have a dream of being who they\u00a0truly want\u00a0to be in life\u00a0whether\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0an\u00a0athlete, lawyer, construction worker.\u00a0I\u00a0would help in any way for that cause.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
How do you handle coaching, especially criticism or being corrected repeatedly?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nI feel i handle coaching and criticism super well. I like\u00a0to be an open book to any and everything that I am exposed to even if\u00a0it\u2019ss\u00a0not in my interest.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nIt would have to be my guy John Sabo he plays WR for us\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
If you could have dinner with three people, dead or alive, who would it be and why did you choose them?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nLebron James,\u00a0MLK,\u00a0and my\u00a0Dad.\u00a0I\u00a0chose these people because they all have great life experiences and qualities that\u00a0I\u00a0can gain by just listening and being open.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
If you were benched tomorrow, what would be the most likely reason?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nI would\u00a0probably say\u00a0for me being\u00a0too\u00a0stubborn when it comes to competition. I love to compete and when\u00a0I\u00a0am\u00a0at\u00a0the moment when\u00a0I\u00a0am competing\u00a0i\u00a0like to not just win but win on the highest level of success. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Walk me through your typical pre-game routine?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nTo start the day\u00a0i\u00a0have a light breakfast with nothing to\u00a0filling. When\u00a0I\u00a0get on the bus\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0chill\u00a0time. I like\u00a0to listen to some country music on the way to the\u00a0game,\u00a0maybe\u00a0even\u00a0take a nap.\u00a0When\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0time to get off the bus\u00a0i\u00a0switch the music to some rap music to get in that mindset. Then\u00a0i\u00a0head to the locker\u00a0room,\u00a0get dressed for\u00a0pre-game\u00a0walkthroughs and when\u00a0i\u00a0get back\u00a0i\u00a0go to a\u00a0space\u00a0where\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0isolated and pray and meditate.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

What is your\u00a0degree in?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nSport Management\u00a0<\/p>\n
What would be the first thing you buy with your first NFL check?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nI Would\u00a0probably buy\u00a0a car. A truck of some sort\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Describe a time in a game where you feel you made a mistake, and explain how you bounced\u00a0back?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nThere was a time in a game where\u00a0I\u00a0took some negative yards on a kickoff return against Shepherd\u00a0University\u00a0in late\u00a0game. I bounced back by scoring two\u00a0back-to-back\u00a0touchdowns to\u00a0seal\u00a0the game in the fourth quarter.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
