What's your biggest strength as a player, and how does it show up in games?
My biggest strength is combining an elite 6'0", 185-pound frame with a relentless, non-stop work ethic. This shows up on the field as a punishing, physical running style where I run through contact, and a fast-closing defensive intensity where I instantly shed blocks and deliver explosive tackles at the line of scrimmage.
What are you working to improve right now?
Right now, I am completely focused on maximizing my explosive top-end speed and sharpening my lateral agility. While I already have the raw power to run through contact, I am working relentlessly on my first-step acceleration and quick-twitch footwork. My goal is to add unstoppable breakaway speed to my 6'0", 185-pound frame so I can dominate sideline-to-sideline on every single play.
What are you looking for in a college program?
I am looking for a college program with an elite football culture, aggressive player development, and strong academic support. I want a coaching staff that values my multi-positional versatility and runs a high-intensity defensive system where I can come downhill and fly to the ball. Ultimately, I want a program with a dedicated strength staff that will push my 6'0", 185-pound frame to its peak.
Outside of your sport, what should coaches know about you?
I bring the same elite work ethic to the classroom and my community that I bring to the field. I am fully committed to maintaining a high GPA because I know that academic excellence is what unlocks opportunities at the next level. Coaches will get a person of high character, discipline, and integrity who leads by example, stays out of trouble, and respects his peers and teachers.
What do you want to study, and what career interests you?
I want to study Sports Management or Business to set myself up for a long-term career inside the sports industry. Outside of my goals as an athlete, I am highly interested in pursuing a career as a college athletic director, a sports agent, or a high-level football player/coach.
