About John

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Speed to Power Using my quickness and strength paired with my I.Q. to wear an Offensive Tackle down and keep him confused.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

My mentality is just to go 100% every play every time I step on the field. Violently. Humble.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

The University of Michigan Doctors of tomorrow Medical program as well as the Gardening Club.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I have worked at Cass Tech Alumni, Detroit Lion Donovan People’s Jones‘ Football camp for the last 4 years as well as teammates, Deone Walker and Jalen Thompson‘s Youth football camps. I have also gone back to my kindergarten teacher and the class where I was a student and read to the current kindergarteners. All City Shotput 1st Meet 1st Throw 8th Place all time in Cass Tech Shot Put History

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

I faced the academic rigors of Cass Technical High School Chem-Bio program and competing against 3 All Americans (2 Kentucky Wildcats & a MSU Spartan) 3 Dream Team Defensive Linemen, 1 Michigan Defensive Player of the Year and 6 Power 5 on the depth chart ahead of me my freshman and sophomore years.

What type of college are you looking for?

A university that has been consistent in recruiting me, winning, tradition rich and has a strong sense of family just like my youth team the Westside Cubs and Historic Cass Technical High School. Strong and “steady” (as much as it can be in the college ranks) leadership from a Head Coach, Coordinator, and Position coach. Men, who will help me to grow academically, athletically, and socially.

  • Extremely explosive
  • Great bend & a few go-to pass rush moves
  • Needs to be on the field every single passing down
  • Should work on overall run defense- needs to anchor down and at least fill the rushing lane
  • Good power
