Q: Tell us about your college career and what the recruiting process was like. Why did you choose Northeastern State University?
A: the recruitment process was crazy but definitely something I enjoyed because with each school I came in contact with I was reminded of how al of the hard work is paying off, but I ultimately chose Northeastern State university because it was the closest of the family atmosphere that I got from not only the coaches but the players and with me being from Georgia I felt like it was the perfect combination of being away from home but not to far that my mom couldn’t come see me play.
Q: What would you consider to be your biggest accomplishment in your sports career so far?
A: honestly, I could name a bunch of stats but the biggest accomplishment was growth! College football has shaped me to be a leader and better man! And no matter what I’m doing in life I can always use the same tactics I’ve gained from playing football to help me in life.
Q: What do you consider to be one of the more important things you learned from the coaching staff while playing at_northeastern state university Northeastern State University?
A: mental toughness is key! “A man who tells hisself he can and a man who tells hisself he can’t are both right.”

A: definitely my junior year when I got a interception lol that’s like every DL dream.
Q: If you could compare yourself to a pro athlete, who would that be and why?
A: I get asked this question a lot and I always say the same three players Arron Donald, Vince Wilfork, and Grady Jarrett, because of the dominance they have on games! Jarrett & Donald being undersized DL but yet so dominant and Wilfork ability to force double teams and have the athleticism for his size. I think We all share those same similarities!
