How’d you end up at your current school? What was the recruiting process like?
Interestingly, I had never heard of Dean College until I was recruited. My dream school was Michigan State University—I even took a visit and planned to walk on there. Unfortunately, that didn’t work out for other reasons. I was then heavily recruited by Allegheny College in Pennsylvania. I took an official visit and felt it was the place for me, but they later told me, “If you come, you will not be part of the team until the spring.” I believed I was too talented to sit out a season.
That’s when my former OC, Anthony Baskerville, recruited me and said, “You’ll have a fair chance to start as a freshman.” I trusted him and committed without an official campus visit—he only did an official home visit. My first time on the Dean College campus was when I moved in, flying from Miami, FL (where I was born and raised). The rest is history.
What gives you an advantage over other athletes at your position?
I am highly coachable, receptive to constructive criticism, and able to build on it. My versatility also sets me apart—I can catch out of the backfield, line up in the slot, return punts and kicks, and make plays in the open field. My speed and quickness are also key factors that give me a significant edge.
What does being a student of the game mean to you?
Being a student of the game means paying attention to detail—not just in football but in life. The little things matter. It’s about giving your all in the weight room, watching film, accepting constructive criticism, and striving to improve your skillset physically and mentally. Discipline and preparation often beat talent, and I live by that belief.
How does being a running back reflect in your personal life?
Being a running back mirrors my approach to life. It’s about fighting adversity and overcoming challenges, maintaining faith that any play can change the game, and being versatile.
For example, if I’m playing in heavy rain, I know I’ll need to carry the ball more, protect it better, and push through exhaustion—all while staying focused. Similarly, in life, adversity tests us, and we must decide whether to fight back or let it defeat us.
Versatility is another key trait. On the field, I can block, return kicks, catch passes, and run any play the team needs. In life, I’m adaptable—I’m willing to take on new challenges and help others, even if it’s something I’ve never done before.
How would you describe your work ethic?
I am a very dedicated and determined individual who gives 100% on and off the field. Once I set my mind to accomplishing something, nothing can stop me except myself. I am also extremely disciplined—if I had to wake up at 4 a.m. every day to better myself, I’d do it without hesitation. Discipline and dedication are keys to success both in life and on the field.
What is one of the most important lessons you’ve learned from the coaching staff?
I’ve learned to pay attention to detail on and off the field. The little things can make a big difference.
What is your biggest accomplishment in your sports career so far?
Earning my First Team All-Conference award for the first time. In high school, it seemed like every big play I made was called back. My freshman year of college brought more challenges, including injuries, and my sophomore year was tough due to personal issues. But in my junior year, with the help of my teammates, I finally earned that honor. It was an emotional achievement because I trained tirelessly leading up to that season.
How did you hear about the National Scouting Combine?
I’m from Miami, FL, and I heard about it through my former high school teammate, Willie Floyd, who attended the University of Charleston in West Virginia.
Why did you choose the National Scouting Combine?
I want to showcase my skills, expand my network, and seize another opportunity to compete at a professional level.
What do you hope to show people at the combine?
I want to prove that my size doesn’t matter—I can do it all. Just give me the ball, and I’ll make something happen. I also want to highlight my speed, quickness, agility, and ability to make defenders miss while showcasing my second gear once I hit the open field.
What was your major?
Communications.
If you could make a positive impact on society, what would it be and why?
I’d promote kindness. I’m a kindhearted person, and I believe that if more people were kind, the world would be a much better place. There’s already enough negativity—why not be the one who spreads positivity? My goal every day is to make someone smile because you never know what someone is going through. A single act of kindness can have a lasting impact.
What is something unique about you that people would find interesting?
My sharp memory. I can recall events from when I was 4 or 5 years old with incredible detail, including specific dates and days. It always surprises my family when I share these memories.
If you could play another sport professionally, what would it be?
Track and field. I’m a speed guy, and I love pushing my limits by racing against others. Plus, track involves less wear and tear on the body and offers more longevity. I ran track my senior year of high school, and my team won our last four meets and the district championship.
Are you involved in mentoring, charity, or giving back to your community?
Yes, I’m actively involved in charity events and giving back with the GREAT men by brothers “The Circle of Brotherhood” in Miami, FL. I also participate in similar activities with my fraternity brothers from THE GREATEST fraternity the brothers Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc.
