What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2026 NFL Draft? 

I am a top wide receiver prospect in the 2026 NFL draft undoubtedly. My ability as a wide receiver to use my quickness at the line of scrimmage to get open is what separates me from any other prospect. My detail within my routes and releases compliment my speed in which allows me to have free will in 1v1 situations against any opposing defender. Upon catching the ball, I make lightening quick decisions that allow infinite opportunity for yards after the catch and explosive plays to be made. My physical characteristics like being 6’3 compliment my ability to go up for jump balls and make contested catches as needed. 

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

If there was one thing NFL teams should know about me is that I am super passionate about football and believe in my talents enough to continue believing in myself against all probability and industrial ‘norms’ in order to be where I am at. 

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

If I could donate to one cause it would be the homelessness taking place in my city and around the country eventually. Homelessness has always bothered me and I have always felt a urgent need to help those that are less unfortunate in a manner that produces long term affects.. 

Who was your role model? 

Growing up my role model was always my my mom, she is unbelievably strong. I have always wondered how we got through certain situations being a single mother of 8. She has never been able to be vulnerable seeing what she has endured and conquered has motivated me throughout life. 

Who is your favorite NFL team?

My favorite NFL team is the one that selects me I have no current favorite.

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school? 

The most underrated teammate at my school currently I believe is Keden Moseley. Although he is approaching his first college season, his work ethic as a wide receiver and consistency will allow him to do great things in the near future. 

What is your biggest pet peeve? 

My biggest pet peeve is when people have no clairvoyance. I feel like you can be easily misled or perceived in todays world by people of authority or the media but if you have had the experiences i’ve had; you would know that you cant always believe in what you see or who you come in contact with instantly.

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

My favorite teacher ever was my junior year english teacher, April French at Tulsa Union.

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

Adversity is something I know all to well. I believe the hardest moment I had to overcome was being instructed by my coaches to enroll double fulltime while I was at Oklahoma in order to be able to compete, just to be told I wouldn’t be able to return to practice after completing the semester; then finding out if I wanted to continue to play football, that I would have to graduate in order to transfer in which I did while remaining on the deans honor roll. 

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 most likely be a hibachi spot called Osaka in my hometown Tulsa or Chipotle.

What is your favorite snack food? 

My favorite snack food has to be fruit/smoothies. I honestly do not eat a lot of snacks.

What is your degree in? 

My bachelors degree is from Oklahoma University in Multidisiplinary studies with a minor in pre-med. I am currently pursuing my masters in the school of behaviorial sciences.

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

If I could have dinner with three people it would be God, my deceased uncle Tyrone, and my Nana . God because he is almighty and always been there for me throughout every phase. My uncle because I know he cared about me but I never got to really know him cause he died while I was younger. Last but not least my Nana cause she has had my back throughout my whole entire life and has shown me unconditional love even when I felt undeserving.  

What is your biggest weakness? 

I believe my biggest weakness is chicken, if I had chicken taken away I don’t know what I would eat truly.
