What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2025 NFL Draft? 

One of the reasons why I feel as if I am one of the best prospects in the 2025 Draft Class is my versatility being able to blitz off the edge and inside. My range on the field being able to cover ground from hash to hash with my size and range and most importantly my physicality with being able to play Free Safety and Strong Safety and also Will Backer in some packages and being able to cover slot receivers. 

What is one thing that NFL teams should know about you?

One thing that NFL Teams should know about me is my hard work, determination and leadership. No matter how things may seem I never back down from a challenge and one of the things I pride myself on the most is leading by example, simply by being where I am supposed to be and doing the right things on and off the field. Also, my passion for the game is something that makes me who I am every day. 

If you could donate to one cause in the world, what would it be? 

If I could donate to one cause it would be to St Jude. To help the kids who are currently in the hospital and to create more awareness about cancer and the research that is being done. 

Who was your role model? 

My role model is my Grandad Clement Fleming, he was a coach for over 30 years and is simply a family man and somebody I see myself in. And that’s just my guy. I would do anything for him.

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school? 

The most underrated teammate on my team is Camar Kyle. He plays Defensive End, has a high motor, is a great leader, and is simply a beast on the field. He has passion and love for the game, just like me.

What is your biggest pet peeve? 

My biggest pet peeve is people who say they are bought into something but don’t do the things that require them to be where they are supposed to be and also what they need to be doing.

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

My favorite teacher of all time is Coach Williams. He was a former athlete and coach who is a great mentor and has taught me many life lessons about life, athletics, and coaching which has helped me become a better man. 

Overcoming adversity is what defines character, what was the hardest moment in your life to overcome? 

The hardest moment that I had to overcome was losing my Aunt during my Senior Year of high school. I never really experienced a loss like that to someone who was that close to me. She was my 2nd Mom and we just had that relationship and it’s something I play for in the back of my head every time I step on the field in honor of her.

If you could have any franchise restaurant in your house what would it be?

If I could have any franchise restaurant in my house it would prob;aly be Chick-fil-A. You can’t beat it because they offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner and I wouldn’t have to go anywhere. 

What is your favorite snack food? 

My favorite snack is Cheez-Its and probably trail mix. 

What is your degree in? 

My degree is in Wellness and Sports Studies and I graduate this December. 

If you could have dinner with three people dead or alive, who would it be and why? 

If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be John Cena, Denzel Washington, and Sean Taylor. Those three people are basically what I grew up watching and following, so they are my heroes. 

What is your biggest weakness? 

My biggest weakness is saying no sometimes to helping people because I get overwhelmed with what I have on my plate and taking on more responsibility while I work on another thing is something I have problems with but I am slowly working on it.
