What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2025 NFL Draft?
I believe that I am a versatileĀ football player that canĀ do whatever is askedĀ of me on the field to help aĀ team win. I also believeĀ that I am a technicalĀ and instinctual player, and those are two characteristics in a football that can separateĀ one from another so I see it as an advantage.

Alexander The Great ā to hear his story of howĀ he did theĀ amazing things he did, especially at such a young age, would be super cool to hear

What is your biggest weakness?
My leadership. I was blessed to be voted a captain of our team by my peers but I believe it was from leading by example rather than being a complete leader.
