How’d you end up at your current school? What was the recruiting process like? 
Started my college career at Citrus College, a juco in California. I played both wr/db, and received a scholarship to University of Central Missouri of the MIAA playing corner. Made plays and learned a lot about myself and this game but realized I loved playing receiver more. I entered the portal and God blessed me with the opportunity to play receiver at Central State.
 
What gives you an advantage over other athletes at your position?
I believe it’s my ability to read the ball when it’s in the air, positioning my body against the db to where only I can get it. It was no longer a “50/50” ball, as my coaches would say more of 90/10.
 
What does being a student of a game mean to you?
Being a student of the game means not only understanding the game but learning from it. Countless hours of watching receivers/trainers that help my game specifically. Never been the biggest,strongest, or fastest, yet I was always a receiver you can count on being open and making the big plays my team needed.
 
How does being a WR reflect itself in your personal life?
Being the type of receiver I am on the field has allowed me to be confident and proud of what I can do, although off the field I always remember God blessed me with this skill and it can be taken away at any point. With that being said, off the field I try to always learn new things and improve my way of thinking.
 
How would you describe your work ethic?
My work ethic can be described as consistent and precise. I actually have a son God blessed me with so as you can imagine the responsibility can be challenging to work around. I work two jobs while in school to be able to provide for my family so the time I designate to training must be without fault.  
 
What do you consider to be one of the more important things you learned from the coaching staff?
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is although your coaches are there to help you, don’t wait on nobody. If you want to get to where you want to go, stop waiting for someone to hand it to you and go get it! 
 
What would you consider to be your biggest accomplishment in your sports career so far?
Although I had a great juco career making First Team All-Conference 2 years in a row, being named the Most Valuable Player in the Chicago Classic playing on Soldier Field my first game back playing receiver has to be at the top.  

How did you hear about the National Scouting Combine?
A few of my old teammates actually showed it to me, later on receiving an official invite. 
 
Why did you choose the National Scouting Combine?
Any opportunity to get in front of certain coaches and scouts to show what God has blessed me with, I will always take!

What do you hope to show people at the combine?
Just thankful for the opportunity and ready to show I can compete against anybody at any level. 
 
What was your Major? 
Communications with an AS degree in sports science. 
If you could make a positive impact on all of society what would it be and why?
Easily to show love and lend a helping hand, life is too short and you never know when you’ll need that hand one day. 
 
What is something unique about you that people would find interesting?
I’m nobody special, just a child of God trying to give the world to my son. 
If you had the opportunity to play another sport professionally, what sport would you choose?
Soccer for sure! Always wanted to play, I played when I was younger but getting into highschool both football and soccer are fall sports. 
 
Are you involved in mentoring, a charity or do you “give back” or “pay it forward” in your community?
More when I’m back home in Cali I try to help the juco boys as much as I can because I know how it is trying to make it out of there. With more success I would love to start camps and 7v7 teams to help young athletes get more exposure.
