Accomplishments & Impact
What would you say is your biggest accomplishment in your athletic career so far, and what did it take for you to achieve it?

Going to states for track freshman year. Working every day. My current PR in the 100 meter is 10.93

 

Role & Identity as a Player
How would you describe your playing style, and what separates you from other athletes in your sport and your position?

I have legit speed and I feel very strong for my size.

 

Development Curve
What is one area of your game you’ve significantly improved over the past year, and how did you develop it?

I feel like I’m elite at my stance and coverage skills. I have worked very hard in the weightroom and in track to perfect these skills.

 

Adversity & Resilience
Tell us about a challenge or setback you’ve faced in your career. How did you respond, and what did you learn from it?

Injury on my shoulder my sophomore year. I had to sit out the entire year. Be more cautious and take the weightroom more serious.

 

Training & Preparation
What does your current training routine look like, and how are you preparing specifically for the May 30th combine?

Early morning 6a lifts, weight training and practicing on the field with my team. Staying late to do extras.

 

Short-Term Goals (Combine Focus)
What are your specific goals and expectations heading into this combine?

Dominate the drills and hopefully lead to multiple offers and opportunities.

 

Long-Term Vision
Where do you see your career going over the next 2–3 years, and what steps are you taking to get there?

Hopefully playing at the highest level possible. Early morning lifts and watching numerous hours of film to perfect my craft.

 

Football IQ & Leadership
How do you contribute to your team beyond your physical performance—whether that’s leadership,

communication, or understanding the game?

I feel that I hit on all 3, leadership, communication as well as my knowledge of the game. I was voted captain of my team and the only representative underclassman at the time.

 

Recruiting & Exposure
What are you hoping coaches and scouts take away from your performance at the combine?

That I’m a straight baller.

 

Motivation & Mindset
What drives you to keep pushing and competing at a high level, especially when no one is watching?

I want to be the reason the program turns around and am willing to do whatever it takes.
